Bournemouth Preview – Will the Premier League new boys sign off with a win?

Millwall Preview – Can the Lions sneak into the top six?
Millwall have had a fine Championship campaign no matter what happens on the final day. Gary Rowett’s boys have been one of the most consistent teams in the division since the turn of the year, firing their way up the Championship table and into promotion contention.
Millwall kept their slim play-off dreams alive with an easy 3-0 victory over relegated Peterborough United last week, with an own goal and efforts from Benik Afobe and George Saville doing the business. Those three points extended their unbeaten run to five (three wins, two draws).
