West Bromwich Albion will be looking to give their playoff hopes a massive boost when they host Millwall at The Hawthorns on Saturday afternoon in the Championship. The Baggies are within striking distance of the top six as the season enters April, while Millwall are the side all those outside the playoff places are chasing down.
Since Carlos Corberan earned a contract extension with West Brom at the start of February, the Baggies have been two separate entities in the Championship depending on location. At their Hawthorns home they have been unbeatable, collecting ten points from a possible 12, whereas on their travels they have only picked up one point in a quartet of fixtures.
This disparity between home and away results is the sole reason why the Black Country club have not broken into the playoffs so far this term, and it looks set to condemn the club to a third-straight season at this level if it is not addressed promptly.
Currently sitting ninth in the Championship standings, Albion are five points behind Saturday’s opponents Millwall who lie in sixth – it is safe to say a loss for Corberan’s men in this clash could end their promotion dreams.
West Brom are flying high right now after going three games unbeaten in the EFL Championship, but Millwall have the psychological advantage of having beaten them in their last two clashes and going unbeaten in the last three.
This could be spicy, with the sides playing out an entertaining draw.
Prediction: West Brom 2-2 Millwall

West Brom will be without winger Grady Diangana for Saturday’s match, with the player out for the remainder of the season due to a foot injury and the subsequent surgery. Matt Phillips will also be a long-term user of the Baggies medical room as the veteran recovers from a muscle injury – the 32-year-old is expected back next month.
Corberan will be carefully monitoring the ongoing knee issues of Erik Pieters ahead of the meeting with Millwall, with the centre-back still suffering from the effects of a knock sustained in the loss at Birmingham City in February.
