Millwall – Preston

Match analysis

Millwall host Preston in what promises to be a decisive clash in the lower reaches of the table, with the Lions sitting 13th on nine points from three wins and three defeats, their goal tally perfectly balanced at 11‑11. Preston, languishing at 23rd with just three points from a solitary victory and a bleak 6‑13 record, will need to reverse a season that has already seen six losses. The two sides have yet to meet this campaign, but Millwall’s recent form suggests they have the firepower to keep the pressure on while remaining defensively vulnerable. A win for Millwall could see them edge closer to safety, whereas Preston will be desperate for three points to avoid the relegation zone entirely.
