Hull vs Millwall: Championship preview
The two surprise packages of the Championship season meet in the play-offs - and the winner will be just one victory away from a shot at the Premier League.
Millwall were many people's dark horses for promotion this term, but they have exceeded expectations nonetheless. The Lions spent the vast majority of the regular campaign in the automatic promotion picture and were still in with a shout on the final day, but they finished one point behind second-placed Ipswich Town after both sides won their games against Oxford United and Queens Park Rangers respectively.
Missing out on the top two is unlikely to affect a side who have developed into an excellent all-round team under manager Alex Neil, while their recent form - winning eight and losing just two of their past 13 games - should mean they are full of confidence.
Millwall will also take heart from the fact they gained more points on their travels this season than anyone in the Championship, claiming a 3-1 victory away to tonight's opponents in March and last tasting defeat on the road when they lost 2-1 at eventual champions Coventry City back in January.

Hull City fans may have thought they had blown their shot at promotion ahead of the final day, having failed to win any of the six games between the March international break and their last match of the regular season.
They could only draw away to Oxford and Leicester City, who were both relegated, while a 2-1 defeat at lowly Charlton Athletic on the penultimate weekend extended an iffy run of form that stretched back to the start of February.
In fact, with just half an hour of the games on final day remaining, the Tigers were down in eighth - but Oli McBurnie's winner against Norwich City and Wrexham's failure to beat Middlesbrough saw them snatch a top-six spot.
McBurnie scored twice in that 2-1 turnaround triumph against the Canaries to end the regular campaign on 17 goals, while he also found the net when Hull won 3-1 away to Millwall back in December. The striker thrives in this sort of atmosphere, so he could play a key role in this tie.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Hull City 1-2 Millwall
FourFourTwo expects the Lions to continue their excellent away form and take a lead back to South London for the second leg on Monday night.
