Millwall host Luton Town at the Den in round 40 of the EFL Championship on Friday (April 7). The Hatters are unbeaten in four games against the hosts and will look to extend this fine run.
Millwall failed to return to winning ways at the weekend, as they were held to a goalless draw with West Bromwich Albion. That followed a 1-0 home defeat against Huddersfield Town on March 18, which snapped their two-game winning streak. With 61 points from 39 games, the Lions are fifth in the Championship, level on points with sixth-placed Blackburn Rovers in the final playoff spot.
Luton, meanwhile, continued their quest for a place in the playoffs with a comfortable 2-0 win over Watford last time out. Rob Edwards’ side have now gone seven games without defeat, winning five since mid-February.
With 67 points from 39 games, Luton are fourth in the standings, level on points with third-placed Middlesbrough.
