Preston North End v Millwall - Sky Bet Championship
Millwall and Preston North End lock horns in round 29 of the EFL Championship on Saturday

The action continues in round 29 of the EFL Championship as Millwall and Preston North End lock horns at the Den on Saturday.

Ryan Lowe’s visitors have lost their last four away games across all competitions and will head into the weekend looking to end this poor run.

Meanwhile, Millwall were left empty handed once again as they fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Queens Park Rangers last Saturday.

Joe Edwards’ side have now lost their last three matches, including a 3-2 defeat against Leicester City in the FA Cup third round on January 6.

With 32 points from 28 matches, Millwall are currently 18th in the EFL Championship table, level on points with 19th-placed Stoke City.

Elsewhere, Preston North End were sent crashing back to earth last Sunday when they fell to a 2-1 loss against Leeds United.

This came after a 2-0 victory over Bristol City at the Deepdale Stadium on January 13, which saw their three-match losing streak come to an end.

With 38 points from 28 matches, Preston are currently 12th in the league table but could move level with eighth-placed Norwich City, if they secure all three points this weekend.
