Millwall v Leeds

Millwall 3.02/1 boss Gary Rowett admitted he was satisfied to take a point away from high-flying Birmingham before the international break. Kevin Nisbet's early free-kick gave the Lions a lead at St Andrew's with goalkeeper Matija Sarkic preserving that advantage in first-half injury time when saving Scott Hogan's penalty.

Having already lost skipper Shaun Hutchinson to injury, Millwall were unable to keep Birmingham at bay, conceding soon after the half-time whistle. But Rowett was pleased with his side's overall efforts as the Lions settle into mid-table with a W2-D1-L2 return.

Meanwhile, Leeds 2.486/4 were frustrated by Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday in their last outing as the two teams played out a goalless draw at Elland Road. Daniel Farke's side could only manage four on-target efforts from their 16 attempts at goa with Joel Piroe and Georginio Rutter going closest with Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto impressing.

The Whites were able to give debuts to new signings Djed Spence and Glen Kamara off the bench but were still unable to find a finishing touch. Farke was understandably disappointed by the outcome yet praised his players for their positive performance as they created three Big Chances for the second successive Championship showdown.

Leeds represent Asian Handicap value

Draws have hindered Leeds' season thus far with the Whites returning W1-D3-L1 from their opening five fixtures. However, Daniel Farke's team is starting to take shape following a tumultuous summer since relegation. The West Yorkshire giants have undergone an impressive overhaul and now appear ready to challenge for promotion honours.

Only two teams have fired in more shots from inside the penalty box this term, and Leeds' attacking output should only improve following the reintroduction of Crysencio Summerville and Wilfried Gnonto, plus the eye-catching addition of Joel Piroe. With the Whites' squad looking strong, Leeds +0 Asian Handicap holds plenty of appeal at 1.758/11 on Sunday.

The visitors were eye-catching 4-3 winners away at Ipswich in their most recent road trip, and should fancy their chances against a Millwall side that's picked up a solitary point from three dates against current top-10 opposition. The Lions are also ranked inside the bottom-five for xG ratio, shots in the box ration, as well as Big Chance creation through five rounds.
