Competition: Championship
Market: Millwall win
Odds: 7/10 @ 1xBet
Seeking an essential Championship boost in midweek, Millwall welcome welcome Sheffield Wednesday to south London.
Starting with the hosts, marking their return from November’s International break with a worrying 3-1 defeat away at Portsmouth, Millwall have the feel of a squad seeking an essential boost on Wednesday night. Although the Lions might have come flying out of the traps when opening up the 2025/26 campaign, Alex Neil’s men have drastically failed to find any kind of stability on either side of November’s fortnight interval. Including a woeful drumming away at Championship returners Birmingham earlier in the month, the former Norwich boss has seen his squad register just two points from ant of their previous four appearances. However, despite sacrificing their spot in the play-off places, Millwall will certainly be excited to make a return to south London here. Pencilled in as a standout contender in midweek, Neil’s side should be smelling a golden opportunity at The Den. Landing a stellar 1-0 win against Leicester on October 25th, the Lions have notched 10 points from their last four Championship battles in the capital. Getting Wednesday’s showdown underway with just their goal difference keeping them outside the play-off spots, Millwall will be desperate to avoid a potential banana skin.
As for the visitors, hit with a points deduction last month and dealing with a string of glaring issues both on and off the pitch, Sheffield Wednesday find themselves at the heart of an infamous crisis. Sat rock-bottom of the Championship table and opening the midweek fixtures 18 points adrift of safety, Henrik Pedersen’s men are already planning for life back in England’s third-tier. Falling to a nightmare 3-0 drumming at home against arch-rivals Sheffield United over the weekend, the Owls have failed to win any of their previous 10 consecutive Championship appearances (six defeats, four draws). Likewise, putting just a single second-tier victory on the board so far this season, Pedersen’s side have also shown some worrying defensive struggles. Heading into November’s international break with a 3-1 defeat away at Southampton, Wednesday should also be concerned by their most recent trip to south London. Hit with a 3-0 loss when they last travelled to The Den back in August 2024, we are expecting a similar outcome here.
