Millwall were unable to produce a response to Trai Hume's 20th-minute goal last weekend as the London club suffered defeat at the hands of top-six certainties Sunderland. The Lions have lost three of their last five Championship fixtures but remain on the fringes of the playoff push, six points off the pace.
Portsmouth took a giant stride in the direction of Championship survival last weekend when Josh Murphy's first-half goal sealed a 1-0 home win against a free-falling Blackburn side. On the road, Pompey have lost nine of their last 10 league fixtures, making back-to-back victories an unlikely outcome.
