Millwall vs Preston North End prediction, preview, team news and more | EFL Championship 2021-22

Fresh off the back of ending their four-game losing streak, Millwall play host to Preston North End at the Den on Tuesday.

The visitors will head into the game desperate to get one over the hosts, having lost each of the last four meetings between the sides since 2019.

Millwall finally gave their fans something to cheer for as they claimed an impressive 2-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion last Saturday.

Prior to that, Gary Rowett’s men were on a run of four straight losses in all competitions, scoring three goals and conceding seven in that time.

With 36 points from 27 games, Millwall are currently 15th in the EFL Championship table, albeit with one game in hand.

Preston North End, on the other hand, were denied a second win on the bounce last time out as they played out a 2-2 draw with Bristol City.

This followed a 2-1 victory at West Brom which saw their four-game winless run come to an end.

With 37 points from 28 games, Preston North End are currently 13th on the log, level on points with Blackpool.
