Recommended bet: Draw
Millwall host Leicester City at The Den on Saturday and will be looking to make it four wins from four in the Championship in order to keep pushing the top two.
The Foxes are aiming to bounce back from defeat at Hull on Tuesday and could really do with a win, as one victory in seven has seen Marti Cifuentes' side slip down to ninth in the table.

Prediction
Millwall have flown up the league table and deservedly sit third in the Championship after a run of three straight victories.
The Lions bounced back from a a 4-0 home defeat by leaders Coventry to go on a winning run and now face a Leicester side who have managed just one victory since August.
However, the Foxes have actually only lost in that time also, away at Hull on Tuesday, and have drawn five games in the last seven.
So, while they haven’t been able to find the winning goal, Leicester remain a difficult side to beat.
The Lions have kept three clean sheets in the last four home matches, so it is unlikely that there will be plenty of goals, while they have scored more than once on just one occasion in theie last six.
Both sides have been hard to get the better of this campaign and could cancel each other out.
