Burnley and Millwall lock horns on a potentially fascinating final matchday of the EFL Championship on Saturday. Both sides are in the top half of the standings.
Scott Parker's Burnley celebrated their Premier League promotion with a rousing 5-0 win at Queens Park Rangers last weekend. Josh Cullen set the ball rolling in the ninth minute before Zian Flemming's nine-minute brace ended the game as a contest after 28 minutes.
Jeremy Sarmiento joined the party with a brace as the Clarets remain behind leaders Leeds United on goal difference, with 97 points from 45 games, winning 27, including the last four.
Meanwhile, Alex Neil's Millwall are coming off a 1-0 home win over Swansea. George Saville's 38th-minute strike was the difference between the two teams at The Den, keeping their play-off hopes alive.

Burnley vs Millwall prediction
The two sides have had successful campaigns, especially Burnley, who are in title contention going into the last matchday of the season, while Millwall remain in play-off contention.
The Clarets have a slender head-to-head advantage over Millwall, who handed Parker's side one of their two league defeats this season. However, Burnley have had Millwall's number in recent meetings.
The Lions need to win on the final day and for one of Bristol City and Coventry to drop points to seal one of the two remaining play-off places. Burnley, meanwhile, need to better Leeds' result to take the title. Realistically, they need to win and Leeds to drop points, else overturn an improbable 13-goal difference if both teams win.
Considering the Clarets' imperious home form, expect them to take a narrow win, with a top-2 finish assured.
