Since the 2-1 victory against Swansea City, thanks to second half efforts from Tom Bradshaw and Andreas Vogslammer, midway through March, Millwall have gone on a four game winless streak, that includes defeats to Huddersfield and Hull City either side of two consecutive draws against Luton and West Bromwich Albion. The Lions have recorded 17 wins, 11 draws and 13 defeats from 41 second tier games this term. Gary Rowett’s side lost to the Tigers last time out courtesy of Adama Traore’s lone goal in the second-half. Despite taking just two points from their last four outings, Millwall have somehow managed to hold on to the playoff spot for time being. Meanwhile, the Lions have been solid at home this term, having lost only four of their 20 league-matches at the Den, while collecting 36 points in the process.
Preston North End, on the other hand, have the fourth-best away record in the Championship this season, having recorded 10 wins, five draws and five defeats from 20 matches on the road. The Invincibles have won 17 league-games this term and their latest success came against Reading on Monday thanks to Thomas Cannon’s 56th-minute opener and Brad Potts’s winner two minutes into the injury time. It was Preston’s third consecutive victory, scoring seven goal and conceding only two in the process. Meanwhile, Ryan Lowe’s side have lost only one of their last 11 matches, winning six in that period. The impressive run of form has put the club in contention for a surprise top-six spot.
Millwall probable starting lineup: Long, McNamara, Hutchinson, Cooper, Wallace, Mitchell, Saville, Honeyman, Flemming, Voglsammer, Bradshaw
Preston North End probable starting lineup: Woodman, Storey, Lindsay, Hughes, Potts, Onomah, Whiteman, Johnson, Fernandez, Parrott, Cannon
