Hull City and Millwall lock horns in this enthralling encounter as they look to seal Premier League promotion, Afrik-Foot reports.

The first leg of their Championship semi-final clash ended in a goalless draw at the MKM Stadium. Now at the Den, a winner must emerge to battle in the final of the EFL Championship.

Two Nigerian players are involved in this tie - Femi Azeez for Millwall and Semi Ajayi for Hull City.

Azeez is in his side’s starting XI, while Ajayi, who started on the bench last week, has been placed on the right side of the back three by Sergej Jakirovic this evening.

Millwall, meanwhile, were so close to sealing an automatic Premier League spot after being second for a while, before a poor run of games saw Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich Town return to the English top-flight.

On the other side of the Championship play-off semi-final is Southampton, taking on Middlesbrough.

The first leg ended in a goalless draw as well, and the second leg will be played at St. Mary’s Stadium tomorrow.
