Millwall will welcome Hull City to the Den in the Championship on Saturday (November 5).
The hosts are coming off a goalless draw at Birmingham City on Wednesday in a game they dominated. Hull, meanwhile, suffered a harrowing 3-1 defeat against Middlesbrough at home.
Chuba Akpom put Boro ahead on the half-hour mark before Cyrus Christie equalised on the hour-mark. However, a pair of own goals saw the visitors leave with all three points.
The defeat left the Tigers just one point and one spot above the relegation zone, having garnered 20 points from 18 games. Millwall are ninth with 27 points from 18 games.

Millwall vs Hull City Prediction
Millwall's two-game winless run has threatened to derail their promotion aspirations, but the capital side should relish their return to the Den. They have been one of the Championship's most consistent teams at home, claiming 21 of 27 teams.
Hull, meanwhile, are in line for another relegation scrap this term and might end the weekend in the drop zone if they don't win, and results elsewhere go against them.
The Tigers have been defensively poor all season, so Millwall should claim a comfortable win.
