Millwall, Recent FormThe Millwall squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 away defeat against Queens Park Rangers, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 2 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Queens Park Rangers, who had 12 shots on goal with 5 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 5 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season, they have conceded at least one goal in 10 of their 14 games at The Den.
It's been a mixed run of form at The Den for Millwall recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 home games.
Tom Bradshaw will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Millwall.
Preston North End, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Leeds United will not have sat easily with the Preston North End squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with a 43% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Leeds United, who managed 20 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Ryan Lowe will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 24 of their 28 games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 matches will concern them, but they have picked up some important points by winning the other 2 of these games.
On an individual basis, Will Keane will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Preston North End's last 6 league games.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at The Den, The Lilywhites have been unable to break through the Millwall defence and find the back of the net. In their previous 4 encounters with Millwall, The Lilywhites have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Preston will be wondering what they have to do to get all 3 points in this fixure, having failed to win any of their last 9 league meetings with Millwall.
Millwall manager Joe Edwards has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Aidomo Emakhu (Dislocated shoulder), Shaun Hutchinson (Calf) and Ryan Leonard (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Preston manager Ryan Lowe has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
