Two struggling sides, Millwall and Preston North End will meet in the seventh round of the Championship this Saturday. Both are tied on five points but the Lions are 18th, three places ahead of the visiting Lilywhites. In case you are looking to bet on this match, we have a prediction.

As suggested by their league placings, these teams aren’t having great runs so far. Eight matches into the season, Millwall have managed just two wins, and one of them was in the League Cup.

Their single win in the league was at home to struggling Sheffield Wednesday. Neil Harris’s side is coming from a 1-1 draw away to QPR, which left them winless in two matches.

They have also struggled in attack, failing to score in three of their last five matches.

With three straight draws, Preston can feel as favorites coming into this game. They’ll not only be here seeking a second win in the league, but also a first in 11 against Millwall.

In their last 10 meetings with Millwall, Preston suffered six defeats. That will not constitute the best head-to-head form for a team aspiring to rise from 21st in the league.

Apart from bottom placed Cardiff City, no team has scored as few goals as Preston’s three. This will concern Paul Heckingbottom even though the manager has steered the team to a few good results.

One of those included leading Preston to the next stage of the League Cup after eliminating Fulham. The team is coming from a 0-0 draw with Blackburn Rovers, a result they will look to build on.
