Millwall host Stoke City at The Den in the EFL Championship on Saturday, with both sides looking to start their season off with a win.
Millwall have not had their best pre-season campaign, having only won one of their last four games. Gary Rowett's side finished last season ninth in the Championship and will look to challenge for a playoff spot this season. They will want to kickoff their campaign with a win against Stoke City on Saturday.
Stoke City finished 14th in the Championship last season, having had an inconsistent campaign. Michael O'Neill's side will be heading into the game off the back of a 2-1 loss against Hearts in the final game of their pre-season campaign. They will look to bounce back with a win against Millwall on Saturday.
Both sides will want to win the game and that should make for an interesting contest.
