REF’s picks

Millwall enter this Deepdale fixture in much better overall rhythm than a struggling Preston side, making the away win a solid price to back. The Lions have shown resilience against top opposition recently, whereas Preston's defensive vulnerabilities have left them lingering near the foot of the table. However, Millwall do have several injury concerns to contend with, and away trips in the Championship are rarely straightforward.

1. 1Millwall's recent draws against high-flying sides like West Ham and Middlesbrough highlight their competitive level.
2. 2Preston's home form has been shaky, conceding multiple goals in several recent outings at Deepdale.
3. 3A lengthy injury list for the visitors, including key absentees, gives the hosts a fighting chance to disrupt the game.
