Millwall vs Preston Prediction

Millwall Form

In has been a bit of everything for Millwall in their previous three matches, where they first beat Sheffield Wednesday by 3-0. This was followed by a disappointing 0-1 defeat against Luton, before an encounter with Queens Park Rangers produced a 1-1 draw. It has been a bit hit-and-miss for Millwall but at least mostly hit, as they put four wins on the board in their previous six Championship matches. They didn't draw any matches, but lost twice, scoring ten goals while conceding five.

A top half finish is the dream target for Millwall, although keeping their Championship status for another season has to be the priority.

Preston Form

Following three draws in their last three matches, Preston could do with a win again. Against Middlesbrough, they finished even 1-1, before drawing again in a 1-1 match with Fulham. Another 0-0 stalemate against Blackburn followed. Preston came through their last six away games in the Championship without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew one and lost five in which, they were outscored by 14 goals to two.

A top half finish is the dream target for Millwall, although keeping their Championship status for another season has to be the priority.
