There will be fireworks when Millwall and Stoke City square off against each other at the Den on day 14 of the new Championship campaign.

Cardiff take on Middlesbrough at Cardiff City Stadium in what is expected to be a close Championship encounter. The Bluebirds are having a season to forget, and given their seven-game losing run, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts.
