Crystal Palace vs Millwall: betting odds 1 Mar 2025

A mid-table Premier League team is set to face a mid-table Championship team in an FA Cup match. This is also a London derby that has not been played in the league since spring 2013, when both clubs were competing in the second tier of English football.

Crystal Palace are in good form, having won four of their last five matches. This form includes a win over Doncaster Rovers (2:0) in the previous FA Cup round and a victory over Aston Villa (2:0), a team involved in the Champions League play-offs. In every match, they have secured wins by a margin of at least two goals, and even in their defeat against Everton, they managed to score.

Millwall have experienced difficulties in scoring. In their most recent league match, they secured a victory against Derby County—with Derby County, who are at the bottom of the league, scoring only after 95 minutes. Earlier, the team failed to convert several opportunities, including a contentious penalty. In general, Millwall rarely score more than one goal and have developed a reputation as a low-scoring side.

We expect a low-scoring match, although this is likely to work against the visitors. Crystal Palace are significantly stronger and are expected to be more clinical in front of goal, capable of breaking down a defence that is solid by second-tier standards.
