Millwall vs Sheffield Wed Prediction & Betting tips
Millwall has found the way up and if everything goes well, the play-offs can still be achieved. For Sheffield Wednesday, the playoffs are not in, Jos Luhukay’s team is only nine points above the relegation streak.
Millwall :
In the Championship Millwall is currently one of the teams in better doing. The PhD student has been out of relegation for a couple of weeks and can start working for at least one additional year at the second level in England. Millwall turns out to be an extremely stiff team where many teams are biting. Especially the way of playing in London gives a lot of appreciation. At The Den – the home of The Lions – Millwall has lost only three times, against seven defeats outside.
Nevertheless, it can be said that the performance of Millwall outside the home stadium in London has improved drastically in recent weeks. Until the end of January, The Lions did not win a single game in the Championship. Six of the thirteen away games were six and seven lost. After the spectacular first win outside The Den this season visiting Leeds (3-4), the chances seem to be turned for Millwall, because after the victory in Leeds there was also won on a visit to Reading (0-2) and last this week Birmingham City also had to believe it (0-1).
The match in Birmingham was not exactly of a high level, but by a goal by Fred Onyedinma in the final stages of the game, Millwall returned to London three points in a row for the third time in a row. The Lions are 14th and have in the coming weeks games against relegation candidates Burton Albion, Sunderland and Hull City on the program. Enough opportunities to climb further up the rankings.
Sheffield Wed :
After the loss of arch-rival Sheffield United and Hull City in the FA Cup tournament on Friday-evening, Sheffield Wednesday remained as the only team from the Championship in the main cup tournament in England. Sheffield Wednesday had to face Premier League team Swansea City one day after the defeats of its Championship competitors. It can happen that Wednesday and Swansea meet, because in December coach Carlos Carvalhal left The Owls to get started in the Premier League at Swansea.
For him, the Dutchman Jos Luhukay became famous, and under him Sheffield Wednesday slowly creeps away from the relegation zone in the Championship. Since his debut for Wednesday in the Sheffield Derby on January 12, only one time was lost in all competitions. Birmingham City was too strong for Luhukay’s team after two red cards on Wednesday’s side.
Last Saturday, surprisingly, Swansea was not lost. The Owls, like everyone else, were aware of Swansea’s excellent performance under Carvalhal in recent weeks. Among others, it won from Liverpool (1-0) and Arsenal (3-1). However, The Swans did not manage to win Wednesday. Just like a couple of weeks ago against Wolverhampton Wanderers, there was no goal, which means a replay is needed to determine who will advance to the sixth round of the FA Cup. Sheffield Wednesday will remain in the cup tournament for the time being as the only team from the Championship and will try to reach the next round of the tournament on February 27th.
