Two sides who could do well with a win go head-to-head in round 23 of the EFL Championship as Stoke City play host to Millwall on Saturday.
With just one point separating the sides in the bottom half of the table, we anticipate a thrilling contest at the bet365 Stadium this weekend.
Stoke City failed to find their feet last Sunday, when they were held to a 1-1 draw by West Bromwich Albion at the Hawthorns.
Paul Gallagher’s men have now gone eight straight matches without a win, losing four and claiming four draws since a 2-0 victory at Middlesbrough on October 28.
With 23 points from 22 matches, Stoke are currently 19th in the EFL Championship table, one point and one place above Saturday’s visitors.
Elsewhere, Millwall were left spitting feathers last time out when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Huddersfield Town after giving up their lead in the 97th minute.
Joe Edwards’ side are currently on a six-match winless run, picking up just two points from a possible 18 since a 4-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday on November 11.
While Millwall will be looking to find their feet, they have struggled for results away from home, where they are currently on a three-match losing streak.
