Millwall vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Lions to feast on struggling Owls
Preview
Right then, let's have a proper look at this one down The Den. Millwall are sitting pretty in 7th place with 25 points, while Sheffield Wednesday are propping up the entire league with a miserable -4 points. Talk about a tale of two teams!
Millwall have been a bit up and down lately, mind you. They got turned over 3-1 by Portsmouth in their last game, which isn't great, but before that they were solid at home - beating Leicester 1-0 and Stoke City 2-0. They've got a decent home record too, winning 60% of their last 5 at The Den and only letting in 1 goal per game on their own patch.
Sheffield Wednesday? Well, where do I start? They haven't won a single game in their last 10 matches. Not one! Zero wins, four draws, six losses. They're getting battered all over the shop - conceding 2 goals per game on average. Away from home, they're even worse, with no wins in their last 4 on the road.
When these two have met before, Millwall have had the edge - 4 wins, 4 draws, and just 1 loss from 9 meetings. At home, Millwall have won 3 out of 5 against Wednesday.
The stats don't lie here. Millwall are scoring 1.4 goals at home and keeping things tight at the back. Wednesday are struggling to score (only 0.7 per game overall) and can't stop leaking goals. The Owls have managed just 7 goals in their last 10 games - that's shocking stuff.
Look, I know football can throw up surprises, but everything points to a home win here. Millwall are solid at home, Wednesday are dreadful away, and there's a massive gap between these two in the table. The Lions should have enough to see this one through comfortably.
