Recommended bet: Draw
Millwall welcome Watford to The New Den on Monday evening for a showdown between two teams eager to get their Championship seasons up and running.
The Lions have collected seven points from the five league games they have played to date, while the visiting Hornets are two points worse off and are without a win in their last three.
The hosts have a lengthy injury list already hampering their preparations, while the visitors have a number of key players rated as doubts.

Team news
Lions boss Alex Neil is definitely without Luke Jensen, Danny McNamara, Billy Mitchell, Femi Azeez and Alfie Doughty, while Max Crocombe, Massimo Luongo, Luke Cundle and Dan Kelly are all doubtful for the Monday evening action.
The Hornets are waiting to see whether any of Pierre Dwomoh, Nampalys Mendy, Caleb Wiley and Jeremy Ngakia are passed fit to feature, but Jack Grieves (knee) and Giorgi Chakvetadze (foot) are both definite absentees.
Midfielder Imrân Louza is available for a return to the fold for the visitors after serving a three-match ban for his sending-off late on in the 2-1 home victory over QPR.

The stats
Both team's defences have been porous so far this season, with Millwall having kept one clean sheet in the league and Watford having kept none.
Hornets goalkeeper Egil Selvik has made 4, 2, 1, 5 and 4 saves in five league appearances this season, while his Lions counterpart Steven Benda has not had to make more than two saves in a league game.
No player has scored more than one league goal for the Lions this season, while Luca Kjerrumgaard has two for the visitors, although both of those came in the win over the R's.
The last three meetings between these two sides have been decided by a one-goal margin, as have five of the last nine showdowns between the Lions and the Hornets.

Prediction
While there has only been one draw in the last 11 meetings of these two teams, the clash on Monday could well end all level as neither side has produced anything like top form in recent weeks.
A single-goal margin of victory has been the full-time result in their last three clashes and this time around there may well be nothing to separate two teams who are short of form, short of goalscorers and seemingly unable to keep a clean sheet.
Home advantage means the Lions have the edge if you are expecting a decisive outcome, but there is little to rely on at the moment from Neil's side and the lack of a number of players due to injury means the Hornets are capable of securing a share of the spoils.
