Preston to win
We kick off our tips for this match by backing Preston to win. They've been in really good form of late taking maximum points from each of their last three games whilst it's also worth noting they've won four of their past five games. As for Millwall, their general form isn't too bad with just one defeat in five but away from home they've struggled of late with just one win in 10. In that 10 game away stretch they've lost six. When you consider that the Lions are also winless in their last three, they've got their work cut out to get a result here.
A low scoring match
Our next tip for this match comes from the total goals market and we are opting for an under 2.5 prediction. Four of Preston's last five home matches have gone under 2.5 goals with a lowly game average of 1.8 goals. Millwall meanwhile have seen three of their last four away matches fall south of the 2.5 mark with a game average of just 1.5 goals. With each of the last two and four of the last five head to head meetings between these sides also coming in under the 2.5 threshold a low scoring game feels highly likely.

Playoff dreams are alive and kicking
Despite both sides sitting outside of the top six right now both are within striking distance of those playoff places. Preston are only outside them on goal difference whilst Millwall are just three points behind. With that noted, it piles a lot of pressure on this game – particularly where Millwall are concerned- as they'll be keen to avoid dropping off the pace.
Preston will be confident of getting a positive result here hut it won't be plain sailing. Ben Whiteman and Troy Parrott are sidelined with injuries. Emil Riis is the key player to keep your eyes on.
Preston Predicted lineup – Woodman, Storey, Lindsay, Hughes, Potts, Brady, Ledson, Browne, Johnson, Evans, Riis
Millwall arrive in this game with a couple of big players ruled out through injury namely Benik Afobe and Shaun Hutchinson. The absence of the former puts big pressure on Tom Bradshaw to deliver the goods in the final third; if he can do so then it could give the Lions a chance of bagging a result.
Millwall Predicted lineup – Long, McNamara, Cresswell, Cooper, Malone, Michell, Saville, Burey, Honeyman, Flemming, Bradshaw
