Millwall (home)
- Millwall are 5th in the Championship with 49 points from 29 games while Sheffield United are 17th with just 35 points from 28, but the Lions are priced as slight favorites at 2.5 compared to 2.76 for the visitors, with the draw coming in at 3.25.
- That seems a little odd when the Lions have won three, drawn one and only lost one of their last five and are currently on a back-to-back home winning streak.
- The team are well organised, especially at the back, and they make their money when they win possession in the final third and can go straight to goal.
Sheffield United (away)
- Sheffield United have lost ten of their 15 Championship away games, averaging 1.80 goals conceded per away game.
- A lot has changed since Chris Wilder returned to Sheffield United in September 2025 and the club have performed much better than many expected, but they have lost their two most recent away games, failing to get a point from either of them.
Head-to-Head
The reverse fixture five months ago was won 1-0 by Millwall away from home and the last head-to-head meetings have seen the hosts come out on top on three occasions and the visitors on two.
Key Players
Callum O'Hare leads the way in the Blades attack with seven goals in 28 Championship appearances, but his tally of two in the last five games is somewhat underwhelming.
Betting Insights
- Millwall are priced as slight favorites at 2.5, Sheffield United 2.76, and the draw 3.25.
- The Over 2.5 goals market at 1.9 looks an attractive proposition.
Prediction
These two sides are set to play a chess match of sorts on Saturday as Millwall’s transition game and ability to stay in a defensive block and then spring forward will be pitted against Wilder’s pressing style and ability to overload the centre of the field.
