Sheffield Wed vs Millwall Prediction & Betting tips
At Hillsborough Wednesday evening Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall face each other. The home team started the season dramatically with only one point out of three games. Millwall is still unbeaten with five points from three games. Will the Dutch manager Jos Luhukay take his first win with Wednesday?
Sheffield Wednesday:
As said before, Sheffield Wednesday has started the competition badly. A point in the home game against Hull City was for the time being the highest possible. On the opening day of the league, there was even lost to PhD student Wigan Athletic. Last weekend it was played by Brentford. There was only 2-0 lost, but the score could have been much higher.
Manager Jos Luhukay: ‘We have not reached our normal level today. We quickly lose 1-0. Shortly thereafter I had the feeling that we could come back in the game, but we were both weak and offensive both offensive and defensive today. After Brentford quickly made it 2-0 after half-time, the game was played. I think it is significant that Cameron Dawson was our goalkeeper the best player at Sheffield Wednesday. He prevented some certain goals from Brentford. Without him it might have become 5-0 or 6-0. ”
The question now is how Sheffield Wednesday will be repacking for next Wednesday. Jos Luhukay has to work with a narrow selection where each change is normally a weakening for his team.
Millwall:
Millwall has a strong start to the season. It already achieved five points, including four against potential play-off candidates such as Middlesbrough and Derby County. The last team was won 2-1 last weekend. This was a deserved win. Just as rightly the 2-2 draw was in the opening game against Middlesbrough. In the meantime, scoreless was tied in at Blackburn Rovers. Millwall is a very strong team at home. So it lost only four times a home match last season. Although the balance was a lot less last season, it is definitely an outsider for participation in the playoffs.
Manager Neil Harris was delighted with the 2-1 win at Derby County last weekend: “The substitutions helped us tremendously in the absolute final stages of the game. Ryan Tunnicliffe and Shane Ferguson were of great value because with us there were a few huge through them. I told my players that you are not entitled to win matches. You will have to work hard for it. And we did that today. For a moment I tasted the fear among my players that it would go wrong as in the home game against Middlesbrough (from 2-0 for 2-2), but luckily we held out. Frank Lampard will be disappointed with the mistakes his team has made, but that is part of football. After the 2-1 of David Nugent, Derby put the pressure on and you see that they have good footballers. But again I am a satisfied manager.
