Millwall vs Preston North End Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Preview

This Saturday afternoon (15:00) fixture features two sides in opposite halves of the Championship table. Here we have our match preview with all the best predictions, betting tips and match stats.

Millwall booked their place in the last 32 of the FA Cup with a comprehensive 4-1 victory over Barnsley with a brace from Aiden O’Brien and one each from Ben Thompson and Fred Onyedinma. In the league, they last played on New Year’s Day losing 2-1 to Norwich at Carrow Road despite taking the lead through Steve Morison. Preston comfortably came through in the cup beating Wycombe 5-1 thanks to braces from Josh Harrop and Alan Browne (one penalty) while Daryl Horgan also netted. Their last league game came on January 1st and saw them lose 3-2 to Boro with their goals coming from Callum Robinson and Jordan Hugill. The reverse fixture between the pair came in September at Deepdale and the game ended in a goalless draw. It continues a head-to-head trend that has seen the Lions go four unbeaten against North-End.

Millwall have lost just three times at the Den this season while Preston have lost just three times on the road so calling a winner looks tough. It is best then to look at some of the other markets other than the win-draw-win one. Three of the last four for the Lions at the Den have gone over 2.5 goals while seven of ten on the road for the Lillywhites have also gone over and with this the bigger priced outsider of two options it looks worth a small interest. 29 of the combined 52 games these sides have played in the Championship this season have been all-square at half-time and this looks a good way to play this game by backing the draw at the interval.
