Preston North End: A Tough Start to the Season
In their previous Championship match, Preston North End drew 2-2 away at Queens Park Rangers, despite leading 2-0 at half-time. The hosts had 30 shots to Preston's 13 and created significantly more chances by xG - 3.41 to 1.34.
Preston North End are having a difficult start to the season: just one win and six defeats in their last eight matches, with three losses in their last five.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
The form of both sides points towards an open match: Preston North End combine a weak defence with a modest attack, while Millwall are more aggressive going forward and regularly feature in high-scoring games given their style of play and recent seasonal trends. Preston's league position increases their motivation to push forward even at the cost of defensive risk, which further raises the likelihood of goals at both ends. Given Millwall's consistent trend of matches going over 2.5 goals in almost all of their recent games, the editor's pick is Total Goals - Over 2.5. Predicted score: 1-2.
