Millwall 2-2 West Ham: result and AI prediction

AI match recap

This is a major London derby at The Den, but the squads arrive in very different condition. West Ham bring the stronger recent league rhythm and a more settled attacking core, even after their cup loss in midweek. Millwall’s home resilience and physical approach can make the opening stages uncomfortable, yet Alex Neil is managing extensive absences and a group short on fresh legs. Bowen’s influence on the right and Millwall’s ability to survive pressure around their own penalty area shape the contest.

Injuries and absences

Millwall’s absences remove depth in every unit and particularly reduce Neil’s options for changing the midfield battle or introducing fresh attacking legs. West Ham’s likely loss of Veltman is manageable through Walker-Peters, while Souček’s absence chiefly reduces aerial presence and physicality in midfield.
