Two sides that won promotion from League 1 last year are facing each other. Millwall counts on the home form to try and overcome their high flying opponents from Sheffield United.

Millwall

Millwall are currently closer to the danger zone than they would have liked. They are sitting on 19th place just 5 points over 22nd Sunderland. The team is losing grip currently with just 3 points in 6 games. The Lions are picking the majority of their points at home but their recent games at the Den are also unimpressive with just 4 points in 4 games.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United surprisingly fell short two home games in a row. First they suffered a defeat against Fulham in a goal bonanza that finished 4-5 and later they failed to win against Birmingham. The team is still 3rd but with a 3 point gap between them and 3nd place Cardiff. The Blades are showing some inconsistency on the road lately with 2 losses and 2 victories.

Millwall vs Sheffield United: Head to head

Theres an interesting rotation of dominance in their head to head games. Millwall won both games last year in League 1 while Sheffield won 3 consecutive times before that. When we go further back we can see another 3 victories in a row for Millwall making them 5 against 3 for Sheffield.

Five of those 8 games saw less than 2.5 goals and only 2 of them saw both teams finding the net.

Millwall vs Sheffield United: Prediction

Millwall are currently on the decline. Their home form is dropping their away form was never good in the first place. Sheffield failed 2 games in a row and have no more room for mistakes. The team has the ability and should be motivated enough to get the points on Saturday. They had some defensive issues lately but Millwall are not potent up front themselves making the game probably with fewer goals.
