Stoke City will host Millwall at the bet365 Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have had checkered results in the league this season, although they have picked up big wins in recent games and now sit 14th in the league table with 18 points as they continue to push for a top-half league finish.
They beat struggling Blackburn Rovers 2-0 in their game on Wednesday, with Million Manhoef opening the scoring in the second half before Thomas Cannon doubled their advantage from the spot five minutes from normal time to send the Potters to a hard-fought win on the road.
Meanwhile, Millwall continue to defy expectations this season and are making an early push for the playoffs. After a brilliant 1-0 home win against promotion chasers Burnley last weekend, the Lions welcomed promotion favorites Leeds United to the Den and picked up a hard-fought 1-0 victory, with Japhet Tanganga stabbing home the sole goal of the game to secure yet another remarkable result for head coach Neil Harris.
The visitors sit fifth in the table with 22 points from 14 matches and will be looking to extend their winning streak on Saturday.
