WEST BROMWICH, England (Interstat) — A pivotal Championship clash with playoff implications is set for The Hawthorns on Friday as West Bromwich Albion hosts Millwall.

The match pits a West Brom side seeking consistency against a Millwall team riding a wave of momentum from a decisive victory in the last head-to-head meeting. On Oct. 4, 2025, Millwall dominated West Brom in a 3-0 win at The Den.

Entering the fixture, the teams are on different trajectories. Millwall arrives with confidence after a 2-1 victory over Middlesbrough on April 3, though they fell 2-1 to Norwich City on Monday. Their recent form has been strong, with six wins in their last ten league matches.

West Brom, meanwhile, looks to rediscover its attacking threat after being held to a 0-0 draw at Blackburn Rovers on Monday. The Baggies’ form has been inconsistent, with just three wins in their last ten outings. A concerning trend has been a lack of goals, with three scoreless draws in their last six matches.

The statistical projection service Interstat forecasts a tightly contested draw, predicting a 1-1 final score.

For West Brom, the match is an opportunity to avenge October’s loss and solidify their standing in the promotion chase. Managerial tactics will be scrutinized as the home side aims to break down a resolute Millwall defense.

Millwall will rely on the psychological edge from their recent dominance in the fixture. Their ability to secure results on the road, as seen in wins at Middlesbrough and Birmingham City this season, will be tested in a hostile atmosphere.

The result could significantly impact the playoff landscape as the season enters its final weeks. Following this match, West Brom faces a trip to Preston North End on April 18, while Millwall hosts Queens Park Rangers the same day.

Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. local time (1400 GMT) on Friday, April 10, 2026.
