Prediction: 2-1
Preston
After suffering a 2-1 loss at Barnsley, Millwall will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Championship when they take on Preston on Matchday 34. The Lions are on a three-game winless run in the English second tier, while the Lilywhites head into the midweek clash following a 3-0 win over Preston. Millwall’s recovery room is pretty full, with all Kenneth Zokore, Jake Cooper, Connor Mahoney, Murray Wallace, Maikel Kieftenbeld, and Ryan Leonard all missing the game with injuries.
Preston, on the other hand, will be without Patrick Bauer, Declan Rudd, Louis Moult, Billy Bodin, and Paul Gallagher, while Ryan Ledson and Liam Lindsay are both rated doubtful for the game. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Preston suit Millwall. In each of their previous three meetings in the English second tier the Lions defeated the Lilywhites, and the history is likely to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (Jiri Skalak ):
After starting his professional career at Sparta Prague, Jiri Skalak played for the likes of Ruzemberok, Slovacko, Zbrojovka Brno and Mlada Boleslav on loan. In the summer of 2015 the Czech player signed a permanent deal with Mlada Boleslav where he established himself as a first-team regular.
However, the pacey winger did spend too much time at the Czech club as he joined English side Brighton in the winter of 2016. Jiri Skalak signed for the Seagulls for an undisclosed fee and it has to be noted that he score his first goal for the club in a 4-0 win over QPR on April 19, 2016. After spending two seasons at the Falmer Stadium, Jiri Skalak moved to fellow English club Millwall on August 2, 2018.
Born in Pardubice (Czechoslovakia) on March 12, 1992, Skalak represents Czech Republic on the international stage. The Millwall winger has 21 caps for the Czech Republic U21 team and he received his first call-up for the senior team on August 25, 2015 for the Euro 2016 qualifying matches against Latvia and Kazakhstan.
Highlighted Team (Preston):
Preston North End or Preston were founded in 1880. The Lilywhites or the Invincibles play their home games at Deepdale, the stadium that was built in 1875 and opened three years later.
In 1889 Preston won their first FA Cup trophy and they did well to beat Huddersfield Town in the final of the 1938 FA Cup final. However, the club’s biggest success came in 1889 and 1890 when they won back-to-back domestic trophies (First Division).
Preston have yet to win the League Cup title, but they were runners-up in 1888, 1922, 1937, 1954, 1964. Preston’s main rivals are Blackpool and the two teams square off against each other in the West Lancashire derby. In their first ever meeting in the West Lancashire derby (1901) Preston recorded a 4-1 win over Blackpool.
Burnley and Blackburn Rovers are considered Preston’s big rivals as well. The colour of Preston’s shirts is white and they wear dark blue shorts.
