EFL Predictions tip Millwall to take points in the Potteries clash. The Lofty Lions head to Stoke with momentum.

Championship context

The promotion race is tight. Three points separate second to fifth in the table.

Ipswich moved above Millwall after a 2-2 draw with Middlesbrough on Sunday. That shared result lifted Ipswich into second place.

Millwall have played one more game than Ipswich. Both clubs sit on the same points, but Ipswich hold a superior goal difference.

Millwall aim for a statement away result in the Potteries. They won 2-0 at home to QPR last weekend.

Stoke are hit by absences in defence. Ashley Phillips returns from a one-match ban.

Ben Gibson, Ben Wilmot and Maksym Talovierov remain sidelined. Aaron Cresswell and Bosun Lawal were substituted during Stoke’s 2-0 loss at Wrexham.

Millwall have earned 17 points from their last seven away matches. That recent form makes them a solid odds-against proposition.

Valley Parade hosts the standout League One fixture. Bradford welcome Plymouth in a key playoff battle.

Plymouth sit two points outside the playoff places with three games left. They have collected ten points from their last four away trips.

Bradford have won only two of their last seven matches. Josh Neufville and his teammates need a positive result to revive their charge.

Fifth-placed Stockport County seek points to secure a top-six finish. They face mid-table Mansfield at home.

County looked fatigued in a 3-3 draw at Exeter. That packed schedule could blunt their home advantage.

Mansfield have lost just once in their past 11 league games. Their resilience makes them a tough opponent.
