Stoke City Preview – Can the Potters lift the gloom with a home win?
Stoke City’s season began with promise, but inconsistency and a bad run of results in the second half of their campaign put paid to their play-off hopes early doors. Now the Potters even look unlikely to finish in the top half of the table.
Michael O’Neill’s men have won 12, drawn ten and lost 15 of their 37 Championship matches. Since the turn of the year, City have secured just two league wins, suffering seven losses in 2022. Last time out, Stoke let a lead slip to lose 2-1 to Cardiff City in South Wales.
Stoke have lost two in a row at home, crashing to narrow defeats to Luton Town and Blackpool. O’Neill and his side will be desperate to avoid a third straight home reverse on Saturday.
Millwall Preview – Lions to roar to another huge three points?
Millwall are one of the form teams in the Championship right now. The Lions have well and truly got their act together since four straight league and cup defeats at the start of 2022. The London club have gone on to win seven of 11 in the Championship.
After a 3-0 loss at Fulham in early February, Gary Rowett’s side have put together an incredible eight-game unbeaten run, winning six and drawing two. In midweek, Millwall ended Huddersfield Town’s 17-match undefeated league run, moving to within two points of the play-offs in the process.

Stoke have been on a dreadful run of late, and in-form Millwall could pile even more misery on O’Neill’s Potters at the weekend. We fancy the Lions to boost their top-six hopes with a win at the bet365. The away victory is available at 11/5.
Benik Afobe was the hero for Millwall on Wednesday, netting both goals in their impressive 2-0 win over Huddersfield. However, Afobe is ineligible to play against his parent club, so Rowett will have look elsewhere for goals.
Tom Bradshaw is still recovering from injury, so Millwall’s main man could be Jed Wallace in this one. Wallace is available at 10/3 to net anytime at the bet365.
