Match Preview:
Moving into the Championship playoff positions after their win last time out, Neil's men have now lost just once in their last six league matches.

Handing QPR boss Julien Stephan his first home defeat, Millwall produced a disciplined and energetic performance to cause an upset in West London.

Goals from Femi Azeez and Mihailo Ivanovic gave the Lions a two-goal advantage before Rumarn Burrell's late strike set up a tense finale, but the visitors held firm to secure their fifth league win of the campaign.

As a result, Millwall sit in the top six with 17 points, within touching distance of the automatic promotion places.

Stoke, meanwhile, continue to show signs of progress under Mark Robins.

The Potters' narrow victory over Wrexham at the bet365 Stadium, sealed by Sorba Thomas's first-half strike, lifted them to 18 points from their opening ten Championship fixtures, one more than their hosts.

Now three points off the automatic promotion positions, a sixth league win on Tuesday could move Robins's side closer to second-placed Middlesbrough.

While Stoke have looked a more cohesive and confident unit this season, their attacking output remains an area for improvement, having scored only twice across four September league fixtures.

Their away form, however, has been solid, with eight points collected from five Championship trips so far.

Match Prediction:
Both sides have enjoyed strong starts to the 2025-26 Championship campaign and will see this as a key opportunity to strengthen their promotion credentials.

Stoke's impressive away record will face a stern examination against a Millwall side that is difficult to beat at The Den, and with little to choose between the two, a closely contested draw appears the most likely outcome.
