Millwall’s excellent 2-0 away win at Preston in midweek took them up to joint-third in the EFL Championship despite the absence of their entire coaching staff due to COVID-19 issues.
It means they are now unbeaten in four, having lost just one of their opening eight league games this term.
By contrast, Huddersfield Town’s last minute loss to Birmingham City on Wednesday night will have dampened their mood as they slipped to 16th place.
Another loss would see them winless in three and would bring them closer to the relegation zone, sparking memories of last season.
The Terriers, therefore, will be up for the fight against the mighty Lions.
Millwall vs Huddersfield Town Head-to-Head
Millwall’s home win over Huddersfield in July was their first in eight years, having not beaten them on home soil since October 2012.
Both sides have scored at least one goal in each of their last four face-offs, so there could be goals in this one.
Since 2010, Huddersfield have won five counters, drawn one and lost one (their last meeting).
Overall, the hosts have beaten their league rivals on 21 occasions and have lost 19 times, drawing seven games.

Millwall vs Huddersfield Town Prediction
Millwall have had a great start to the season but the Lions may suffer without the leaders of their pride against such a compact opponent.
Huddersfield have been rather average but may see a chance to claim an away win and capitalize on the hosts’ misfortune. We expect this encounter to end in favor of the away team, with Millwall losing at home.
Prediction: Millwall 0-2 Huddersfield Town
