Peterborough United vs Millwall Prediction
Peterborough United are running out of games to retain their status in the Championship. A major problem for the hosts has been their inability to find the back of the net, having gone five successive matches without scoring.
Millwall are in the hunt for a playoff spot and their victory at the weekend would have boosted confidence. Their away form does not inspire much confidence but we are backing the visitors to secure a narrow win.
Prediction: Peterborough 0-1 Millwall
