"While Millwall might have narrowly missed out on a play-off ticket last season, Alex Neil's men have come roaring back in a sensational fashion this time around. Shattering a string of records, the Lions are in the midst of what has become quite the purple patch and they can remarkably move within touching distance of the automatic promotion spots this weekend."
"Last seen securing a 2-1 victory away at Sheffield Wednesday, the former Norwich boss finds the mood in his camp at a red-hot high. Opening Saturday's showdown sat in bronze medal position, Millwall have registered 10 points from their previous four Championship showdowns. Getting February underway with a heavyweight scalp as they secured an eye-catching 2-0 win against Wrexham, Saturday's hosts are riding a major wave of momentum."
"Claiming an essential boost earlier in the week as they secured a 3-1 victory against Charlton, Portsmouth will be desperate to use that clinical performance as a platform to build on going forward. However, despite returning to the English capital this weekend holding a four-point buffer over slipping into the relegation zone, John Mousinho's men are regarded as a major underdog in south London and they should be worried by their recent at The Den."
A packed weekend of fixtures includes five Premier League showdowns and numerous Championship clashes, with several ties carrying season-defining significance. Millwall have produced a sensational run, breaking records and moving within touching distance of automatic promotion after recent wins and just one defeat since December 20. The Lions have amassed 10 points from their last four Championship matches and beat Wrexham 2-0 to maintain momentum. Portsmouth earned a 3-1 victory over Charlton and hold a four-point cushion above the relegation zone, but they travel as underdogs to The Den and carry recent away concerns.
