We said: Preston North End 2-2 Millwall
This is a very difficult match to call, especially considering Preston's recent form. The Lilywhites have only lost three times in front of their own fans in the Championship this season, meanwhile, so we are finding it very difficult to back Millwall, ultimately settling on an entertaining 2-2 draw at Deepdale.
