Pick of the stats: Preston North End v Millwall

[BBC]

Millwall's 3-0 win over Birmingham City on Wednesday moved them back into third place in the Championship, but they start a tough run of away games at Deepdale.

The Lions also still have to go to Hull City, Ipswich and Middlesbrough over the course of the next six weeks.

Preston's run of one win from their past six games means they have slipped five points off the top-six pace.

  • Preston are winless in their past 13 league games against Millwall (D6 L7) since a 3-1 win in February 2019.
  • Millwall have lost just two of their past 12 away league games against Preston (W4 D6) and are unbeaten in their last six visits to Deepdale (W3 D3).
  • Having won five of their first eight home league games this season (D2 L1), Preston have won just two of their past nine at Deepdale (D4 L3).
  • Millwall have won their past two away league games, last winning more consecutively between January and March 2018 (six).
  • Millwall's Femi Azeez has been involved in a goal in each of his past four away appearances in the Championship, providing an assist in each of the last three (one goal).
