Sheffield Utd vs Millwall Prediction & Tips
At the start of the season, Sheffield United were considered one of the main favourites in the race for a place in the Premier League, and so far, Chris Wilder’s side are living up to expectations. The Blades are firmly in second place in the table with 83 points to their name. Only Leeds are ahead of them by one point, while their closest challengers, Burnley, are breathing down their necks, also one point behind.
On the last matchday, Sheffield Wednesday had a difficult visit against Oxford United, where they lost 0:1. Before that, the team had not lost in five matches in the championship, achieving 4 victories in that stretch. In 20 home matches, the ‘Blades’ have 14 wins with three defeats.
Millwall, in terms of ambition level, are trying to stay close to the playoff zone, but so far only manage to appear at the foot of the top-6. In the last five matchdays, the team has only been alternating wins and defeats. At the end of 40 rounds, the team is in ninth place in the table. The gap to the precious top-6 is already six points.
Thus, on the last matchday, the ‘Lions’ hosted Portsmouth at home and achieved a 2:1 victory. All the events in this match occurred in the second half, when after opening the scoring, Millwall conceded a goal in the 80th minute, but secured the victory three minutes before the end of regulation time. It is worth noting that in 20 away games, Millwall have managed five wins with seven defeats.
