Stat Attack
- Millwall have lost one of their last five league meetings against Sheffield Utd (W3, D1, L1).
- Sheffield Utd have won one of their last six league visits to Millwall (W1, L5).
- Millwall have kept just one clean sheet in their last five league matches at home to Sheffield Utd.
- Each of Millwall’s last five bookings at home came in the second half.
- Sheffield Utd have drawn both of their last two away matches by a 2-2 result.
Prediction
Coming into this game off the back of their loss to Coventry and Neil Harris announcing his upcoming exit, Millwall need to be more clinical in their end product after they managed no shots on target last weekend.
Sheffield Utd should probably be happy with their 2-2 draw at West Brom given the difficult conditions, but they need to be more defensive given their firepower although The Den is bit of a bogey ground for them in the league.
Millwall though will be right up for this not wanting just a positive reaction but also a final home win under Harris, which should make for a good battle and another draw might be a solid result for the Blades given recent league visits.
Prediction: Millwall 1-1 Sheffield Utd
Result: Millwall 0-1 Sheffield Utd
