Sunderland will host Millwall at the Stadium of Light on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side have struggled for results in the league in recent weeks but continue their push for a top-half league finish. They beat 10-man West Bromwich Albion in their last match, with Pierre Ekwah scoring the sole goal of the game just before the interval.
Sunderland sit mid-table in 13th place with 56 points from 33 matches and will be looking to add to that tally when they play on Saturday.
Millwall, meanwhile, have picked up important points in the past week and now look set to avoid the drop. They beat Cardiff City 3-1 last time out, with three different players getting on the scoresheet including team captain Jake Cooper who netted his first goal for the club in over a year.
The visitors sit 16th in the Championship standings with 50 points picked up so far and will confirm safety with a point this weekend.

Sunderland vs Millwall Prediction
Sunderland's latest result ended a three-game winless streak and they will be looking to kick on from that this weekend. They are, however, without a win in their last five home matches and could struggle here.
Millwall are on a run of back-to-back victories after winning just one of their six games prior. They have, however, lost their last three away games on the bounce and may have to settle for a point this weekend.
Prediction: Sunderland 1-1 Millwall
