Albion are one of the division's form teams, unbeaten in six, claiming 10 points, and with three clean sheets in their past four games.
That run has hauled Albion up to 20th, four points and two places above third-bottom Leicester with five games remaining.
The points are potentially just as precious for the Lions who lie fourth, outside the automatic promotion places on goal difference, though having played two games more than second-placed Ipswich going into this game.
Monday's home defeat to Norwich was a second straight at The Den but Alex Neil's men have only lost back-to-back league games once this season, and that came in December.
- West Brom are winless in their past nine league games against Millwall (D6 L3) since a 2-0 away win in February 2020.
- Following their 3-0 win in October, Millwall are looking to complete the league double over West Brom for the first time since 2001-02.
- Since the start of March, West Bromwich Albion are one of only three sides unbeaten in the Championship (W2 D4), along with Southampton and Ipswich. They've also faced the fewest shots on target (12) and have the lowest xG faced (5.3) in that time.
- Millwall spent three days in 2nd place in early April but are now 4th. In total – up to the night of 9 April – the Lions have ended 168 days in the play-off positions in 2025-26, 43 more than any other Championship side.
- No side have won more away points in the Championship this season than Millwall (36), winning 10 of their 20 games on the road (D6 L4). They last won more than 10 away league games in a season in 2015-16 in League One (11), and have never done so in the top-two tiers of English football.
