Our prediction for this Championship match:
Stoke City will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Derby County and Blackburn Rovers when they face Millwall in the Championship round 15. The Potters have found their best form of late, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to climb to the playoffs berth. Both Ben Pearson and Bosun Lawal remain in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Lions, on the other hand, look unstoppable at the moment, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive win in the Championship. As Millwall have been impressive at the back of late, a low-scoring affair is on the cards at Bet365 Stadium and we are tempted to place our bets on under 2.5 goals. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous five meetings between the two sides in the English second tier.
