Our prediction for this Championship match:
Preston and Millwall go head to head at Deepdale in what is expected to be a close Championship encounter. The Lilywhites made a flying start to the season, but they do not seem to be at their sharpest ahead of the visit of Millwall. As Preston conceded 11 goals in total in the previous three league matches, home win should not be considered. All Alistair McCann, Andrew Hughes, Calvin Ramsay, Ched Evans, and Emil Riis Jakobsen are out of contention with injuries.
Meanwhile, the Lions head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Hull City. The capital club defeated Plymouth on the road in their last away game and given Preston’s dip in form, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on the visiting team. All Kevin Nisbet, Shaun Hutchinson, and Matija Sarkic should miss out with injuries for the away side.
