Millwall play host to Preston North End on Saturday afternoon looking for the win that will take the club further clear of the Championship relegation zone.
At a time when the Lions sit in 18th position in the standings, Preston are 12th, five points adrift of the playoff places.
We say: Millwall 2-1 Preston North End
With both teams being consistently inconsistent, any result feels possible at The Den on Saturday. While the visitors would have taken confidence from their showing at Elland Road, we feel that Millwall will do enough to earn maximum points in a tight contest.

Sunderland square off against Stoke City on Saturday afternoon looking for the victory that will move them back into the Championship playoff hunt.
Although nine positions separate these teams in the standings, Stoke are just eight points adrift of their 10th-placed opponents as they bid to make a late push for the top six.
We say: Sunderland 1-1 Stoke City
Given the reaction to the Hull defeat, Beale comes into this contest already facing widespread criticism. We feel that he will get back on track with a share of the spoils from this match, although that will not ease the pressure on his shoulders.
