Millwall vs Sheffield United Predictions

Lions to edge the Blades at The Den

Millwall have won five of their last seven home games in the Championship and they are the best bet to beat Sheffield United at The Den on Saturday.

They are 12 places and 14 points above Sheffield United in the table. The hosts, who are fifth, have won 14, drawn seven and lost eight of their 29 games this season, while the visitors are 17th with 11 wins, two draws and 15 defeats.

Millwall kept up their recent winning trend with a 4-0 home win over Charlton last weekend, restricting the visitors to just one shot on target. Millwall have won ten of the 13 games in which they’ve scored first this season (77%) and this result makes it two wins in the three matches in which they have been odds-on this season.

Millwall are in goalscoring form. They have scored an average of 2.33 goals a game in their six Championship home games against bottom-half teams this season, and have found the net in their last four league games, scoring at least twice in three of those.

The hosts are in form at home. Millwall have won their last three Championship home games and have lost just one of the last ten on their own ground.

The visitors could do with turning things around, having lost four times in their last five Championship away games. They come into this match on the back of two consecutive defeats on the road.

Sheffield United have been struggling to keep clean sheets lately, conceding in each of their last six Championship road trips. They have shipped 27 goals away from home this season, an average of 1.80 goals per game from 15 matches.

Millwall may be able to edge out Sheffield United in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. There have been over 2.5 goals in four of Millwall’s last six Championship matches and they have won two of their last three home games 2-1.
