Millwall will be looking to win back to back games for the first time since November when they face Portsmouth away from home on Tuesday night away from home.
The hosts travelled to West Brom on Saturday afternoon hoping to make it three wins on the bounce after beating Middlesbrough and Stoke City in their previous two games. John Mousinho's side were stunned to find themselves four goals down at the interval. Things got worse in the second half as Pompey conceded a fifth goal and scored just once. Portsmouth remain in the bottom four after that defeat but just goal difference separate them from the two sides above them.
Millwall, meanwhile, ended a seven-game winless run in the Championship with a 1-0 victory over Luton Town last time out. It was a narrow victory but a much-needed one as the Lions had gone six games without a win against Luton. Having also won each of their last two visits to Fratton Park, they will fancy their chances of another win on Tuesday night.
Portsmouth vs Millwall Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
