Millwall are set to host Blackpool on Saturday in game week five of the EFL Championship at the Den.
Millwall have performed rather poorly in the Championship so far this campaign. They are yet to win any of their four league games and currently sit 21st in the Championship.
The Lions began their Championship campaign with back-to-back draws against QPR and Blackburn Rovers. They then lost their following two games against Fulham and Cardiff City.
Despite their poor league form, Millwall have advanced to the third round of the EFL Cup after defeating Cambridge United 3-1 on Tuesday.
Like their hosts, Blackpool are one of four teams yet to win a game in the Championship so far. They began their campaign with a draw against Bristol City then lost their next two league games against Cardiff City and Coventry City before drawing against Bournemouth last time out.
Blackpool's woes compounded on Tuesday as the side crashed out of the EFL Cup. They are now on a run of four games without a win.

Millwall vs Blackpool Prediction
Millwall are yet to win in the Championship and have been disappointing on every occasion. They will however be buoyed by their EFL Cup win in midweek and will hope to transfer that into the league.
Blackpool have won just one game in all competitions this campaign and are currently on a four-game winless run. Blackpool's defense has been the side's biggest issue as they have conceded eight goals in their last four games.
The poor league form of both sides should see them share the points.
Prediction: Millwall 1-1 Blackpool
