- Mihailo Ivanovic has chipped in with two goals in the last five, making him a solid anytime goalscorer option in tight matchups. For those interested, our Millwall vs Sheffield Wednesday betting tips highlight him as one to watch.
Sheffield Wednesday
- Henrik Pedersen took over at Sheffield Wednesday in July 2025 and has set up his side to play in a pragmatic survival manner, where compactness at the back and width are their main priorities.
- The Owls will seek to push full-backs and wing-backs forward to create overloads on the flanks, while looking to push their attackers forward quickly in transition.
- Barry Bannan has been the most clinical of Wednesday’s players in the Championship this season, with three goals in 15 appearances, but he is the creative heartbeat for the side and is less likely to find the net than the home side’s attacking players.
- Wednesday have won just one, drawn three and lost three of their seven away Championship games this term (W1, D3, L3), scoring just nine times on the road.
