At Deepdale on 28 February 2026, Preston North End host Millwall in a Championship clash that could shape the play-off race. Preston remain within touching distance of the top six, while Millwall sit third and continue to push for automatic promotion, even if consistency away from home remains a concern.
Prediction: Correct Score 1-1
Given Millwall’s strong overall position but inconsistent away form, and Preston’s unpredictable nature, a 1-1 draw appears a realistic outcome. Both teams have enough quality to score, yet neither has demonstrated complete reliability.
Millwall come into the match after another impressive home victory, maintaining their place near the top of the table. Alex Neil’s side have built their season on defensive solidity and efficiency, but their away performances have not matched their home dominance. They tend to struggle to control tempo on the road, particularly against sides who press aggressively in midfield.
Preston are likely to approach the game with intensity, seeking to disrupt Millwall’s rhythm and capitalise on home advantage. Millwall, meanwhile, may focus on maintaining defensive structure and exploiting moments through set pieces or direct transitions.
