# Preston vs Millwall Championship 2026 Preview and Betting Tips
The upcoming Championship clash between Preston and Millwall at Deepdale presents an intriguing tactical battle. Bookmakers have not provided explicit odds here, but given Preston's average momentum of 15/45 and Millwall's strong 31/45, the away side holds a clear form advantage. Preston's recent form is mixed with one win, three draws, and a single loss, scoring and conceding five goals in total, indicating a balanced but unspectacular attack and defense. Millwall, contrastingly, boasts three wins, one draw, and one loss, scoring nine and conceding five, reflecting a more potent offense and slightly better defensive solidity, including two clean sheets in their last five. Historically, Millwall has the upper hand with four wins and six draws in their last ten meetings, never losing to Preston, which psychologically favors the visitors. Both teams are reportedly injury-free, so full-strength squads are expected, removing any fitness concerns. Given Millwall's superior momentum, historical dominance, and better goal-scoring form, they are favored to edge this encounter. However, Preston's home advantage and tendency to draw matches suggest a closely contested game with potential for goals from both sides. The likelihood of a draw is reduced due to the momentum gap and Millwall's recent winning form. Expect a competitive match with Millwall narrowly prevailing, possibly 2-1, with both teams finding the net.
