Sports Mole previews the Championship match between relegation-threatened Millwall and Brighton & Hove Albion at The Den.

Brighton & Hove Albion will be looking to increase the gap between themselves and the bottom three when they face relegation-threatened Millwall on Tuesday night.

The Seagulls come into this match with just one win from their last four league outings, leaving them 19th in the Championship table, seven points outside the relegation zone.

Chris Hughton's side head into this match following a 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the weekend, with a late goal from Bruno earning them a point.

The visitors will be missing top scorer Lewis Dunk as he starts a two-game suspension after picking up his 10th yellow card of the season at the weekend.

Gordon Greer will have to be careful not to get booked if he plays, as he is just one card away from the same fate as Dunk, while Sam Baldock is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury and Solly March continues to be sidelined with a calf problem.

A win for Brighton on Tuesday could lift them as a high as 16th, with the sides just above them in the table bunched together on points.

Meanwhile, the home side will be hoping to avoid a sixth straight defeat in the league and boost their slim chances of avoiding relegation from the second tier.

Millwall sit 23rd in the standings with just nine games still to play this season and the gap to safety now nine points.

Despite sacking manager Ian Holloway last week in a bid to turn around the team's form, the Lions were on the receiving end of another defeat on Saturday, losing 2-0 to Bolton Wanderers at the Macron Stadium.

That match also saw club captain Alan Dunne pick up his 10th booking of the campaign, ruling him out of their next two matches.

The hosts will also be missing Nick Bailey, who is continuing to battle a back injury, while Lee Martin and Carlos Edwards miss out with foot and knee problems respectively.

While interim boss Neil Harris has insisted that he cannot promise fans a victory in this fixture, he has guaranteed that his players will shows "heart and desire".

Millwall clinched a narrow 1-0 win over Brighton when the sides faced each other in the reverse fixture earlier in the season.
