Running out at their own ground is secure and nice for Blackpool, but Millwall are fully determined and able to win this one. Who will win?

Relegation threatens Blackpool who should definitely be looking for some points here. Millwall are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
