West Brom have won only two of their last 19 matches
Millwall have won five of their last six away games
Recommended Bet: Millwall to win
West Brom have dug in impressively with a six-match unbeaten run to lift themselves out of the Championship relegation zone in recent weeks, but they are worth opposing as favourites when they host promotion-chasing Millwall on Friday at the Hawthorns.
The Baggies have built a cushion of four points over Leicester in 22nd place with two wins and four draws in their last six matches, but the Lions have been in fine form on the road and will pose a stern test for the home side.
Millwall will climb to second place in the table if they merely avoid defeat in the Midlands. However, they go into this game level on points with Ipswich and Middlesbrough but having played two more games than the Tractor Boys, so an 11th away league win of the season is required to put pressure on their promotion rivals.
Team news
West Brom could be largely unchanged, although Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba and Daryl Dike are options if caretaker head coach James Morrison decides to freshen up his side.
Top-scorer Mihailo Ivanovic could return to the Millwall starting line-up after coming off the bench to score against Norwich City, with Luke Cundle potentially making way.
Ryan Leonard was an unused sub against the Canaries after a spell on the sidelines and Alfie Doughty is also close to a return.

Prediction
Things are looking more positive for West Brom after their recent revival but they have two very tough fixtures left against promotion contenders Millwall and Ipswich and they may have to look to their other three remaining games to pick up points.
Draws against Wrexham at home and Blackburn away in their last two matches have helped them to edge away from the bottom three but they are still finding wins hard to come by and are easily passed over as favourites against a side who are 16 places above them in the table.
West Brom's only home win since December was over a Hull side who were a player short for 54 minutes and they should find the going tougher against a Millwall team who have been strong on the road this season.
The Lions have beaten Wrexham, Sheffield Wednesday, Preston, Hull and Middlesbrough, as well as drawing with promotion rivals Ipswich in their last six away games.
While they have suffered home defeats to Blackburn and Norwich to hamper their progress, Millwall won the teams' first meeting of the season 3-0 in October and could come out on top again.
