Preston vs Millwall predictions: Lions to continue promotion charge
Preston are winless across their previous three league matches
Millwall are just four points off Middlesbrough in second place
Recommended bet: Millwall to win
Preston conceded a late equaliser against Swansea in midweek to drop two valuable points in the Championship.
This result leaves the Deepdale outfit ninth in the standings, five points adrift of the play-off spots.
Millwall, on the other hand, are on the rise. The club have taken 16 points from their last eight games, a run which has seen them move up to third in the table.
An impressive 3-0 win over Birmingham in midweek will have given the Lions a major boost in confidence as they head to Deepdale on Saturday afternoon.

Prediction
Preston began the year well with back-to-back wins, but North End have sealed just a single victory since.
Indeed, they have won just one of their previous eight matches in the second tier.
Millwall are currently on a run of four wins from their last six league matches, suffering only one loss during that time.
Another win this weekend would boost their promotion charge and will heap the pressure on Middlesbrough above them as the Teessiders travel to Birmingham City on Monday night.
