Neil Dewsnip will hope to guide his Plymouth side to safety this week

- Millwall have won three games in a row
- Plymouth have scored in 10 of their previous 12 away games
- Recommended bet: Both teams to score

Plymouth will hope to confirm their place in the Championship for next season when they travel to Millwall on Saturday afternoon.

The hosts have won three matches on the spin to avoid the drop, but Plymouth remain in the firing line with just two games to go.

Last week's 3-0 defeat to Stoke means Plymouth are only two points above the bottom three and they have work to do if they want to remain in the second tier.

Team news

Millwall coach Neil Harris has very few injury concerns, although Murray Wallace is expected to miss the game with a back injury.

Harris may decide to make some changes as he plans for next season, but after three wins on the spin, he may wait another week to tweak his starting XI.

Plymouth interim coach Neil Dewsnip has no injury problems to contend with, but after last week's 3-0 defeat to Stoke, he may want to freshen up his team to try and get a result.

The stats

Millwall ran out 2-0 winners during the most recent meeting between the two clubs in October, and the Lions have won four games in a row against Plymouth, while the Pilgrims' last success in this fixture came back in December 1997, with Millwall unbeaten in nine against their visitors since.

Harris' side have won three in a row in the Championship to avoid relegation, including a 1-0 success over league-leaders Leicester.

At home, they are unbeaten in five, winning four of those games.

Plymouth's 3-0 defeat to Stoke was their first loss in three games, while they have only won one of their previous five on the road.

Millwall have won three in a row under manager Neil Harris

Prediction

Plymouth's desire to win Saturday's game is far greater than Millwall's, but they will be up against it, with the Lions in good form under Harris.

Dewsnip's side have not scored more than one goal in a game since February, but their sheer desperation will certainly force them to up the ante this weekend.

With Millwall already safe, it is difficult to know how they will approach Saturday's game, but they are in good form. The safe play suggests both teams will find the net, as Plymouth hope results elsewhere go in their favour.
