The Bees have won seven of 13 home games while the Seagulls in stark contrast have lost seven of 13 away games. <\/p>\n<p>Although Fabian Hurzeler has the backing of the board, his approval rating with the fans is at an all-time low and with only one win from their last 10 away games (L7), it is easy to make a case against his side this weekend. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/team\/millwall\/314\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MILLWALL<\/a> start the Championship weekend in third and will be fancying their chances of gate crashing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/league-tables\/sky-bet-championship\/10\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Championship<\/a>\u2019s automatic promotion race.

They\u2019re unbeaten in 14, winning 10 of those games to motor eight points clear of third and stay within touching distance of leaders Cardiff. <\/p>\n<p>The Imps head to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/team\/mansfield-town\/914\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mansfield<\/a> with the Stags winless in six league games, losing the last two, and have lost four of five home games against the top six.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/team\/notts-county\/954\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NOTTS COUNTY<\/a> have only lost one of their last eight and rarely falter at home.
