League 1 Football
Have not had much to bet on in the last couple of days but at least the
last bet got us a winner and I hope some of you were on, but on to today
and a game in League 1.
Brighton (10th) to beat Millwall (16th) League 1
After 4 games Brighton have won 2 and lost 2 of their league games with
both wins coming at the Withdean a 2-1 defeat of Northampton was followed
up by a 3-2 defeat of Southend and I feel they can make it a hat trick of
wins tonight when they entertain Millwall.
Millwall have started the new season slowly and have disappointed many who
thought they would be among the early pacesetters in the push for
promotion to the Championship.
Their league record so far is 1 win 1 draw and 2 defeats with their 2 away
games seeing them draw 0-0 at Doncaster and lose 1-0 at Southend, they
also lost 3-2 in midweek at Swansea in the Johnstone`s Paints Trophy.
At 5/4 I feel Brighton offer a bit of value tonight those a word of
caution should be noted if you are a follower of the head to head records
between clubs.

Sep 7, 02 Championship... Millwall FC 1 - 0 Brighton & Hove...
One stat I will be taking out of the head 2 head record is the fact that
in the last 8 games these two sides have only been able to break the 2.5
goal mark on one occasion when Millwall won at Brighton on New Years Eve
2005.
Betfred are best price 4/5 for fewer than 2.5 goals tonight and I will be
having a punt on that particular market.
Early team news is that Andrew Whing returns from suspension, for Brighton
whilst On-loan Jamie O'Hara is the only new absentee for Millwall as he
serves a one-match suspension whilst keeper Lenny Pidgeley (back and toe)
is still missing and Tom Brighton (foot) is out, but Richard Shaw, Daniel
Spiller, Neil Harris and Dave Brammer all return.
As always good luck,
Silverfox
