Head-to-Head Analysis
Recent Encounters
| Date | Competition | Home Team | Score | Away Team |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 04 Jan 2025 | Championship | Sheffield Wednesday FC | 2 - 2 | Millwall FC |
| 31 Aug 2024 | Championship | Millwall FC | 3 - 0 | Sheffield Wednesday FC |
| 17 Feb 2024 | Championship | Millwall FC | 0 - 2 | Sheffield Wednesday FC |
| 11 Nov 2023 | Championship | Sheffield Wednesday FC | 0 - 4 | Millwall FC |
| 06 Feb 2021 | Championship | Millwall FC | 4 - 1 | Sheffield Wednesday FC |
The recent history between Millwall and Sheffield Wednesday reveals a mixed but generally favorable trend for Millwall. In their last seven Championship encounters:
- Millwall has secured 3 wins (including a 3-0 home victory and a commanding 4-0 away triumph).
- Sheffield Wednesday has managed 1 win (a 0-2 away victory at The Den).
- There have been 3 draws (including a 2-2 result and two 0-0 stalemates).
Crucially, Millwall has shown capability to dominate Sheffield Wednesday at home, with notable wins such as 3-0 and 4-1 in recent seasons. While Sheffield Wednesday did manage an away win in February 2024, their current form is significantly worse than in previous encounters, suggesting that previous H2H results may not fully capture the current disparity in team strength.
Our Prediction
Given Sheffield Wednesday’s abysmal league form, their position at the foot of the table, and their concerning goal difference of -20, it’s hard to look past a Millwall victory. The Owls have conceded an average of two goals per game while scoring less than one, which points to a team lacking solidity at the back and firepower up front. Millwall, while not a prolific scoring team themselves, have a strong home record against Sheffield Wednesday in recent years, including multi-goal victories.
Considering the current season’s contrasting performances, Millwall is well-positioned to secure a comfortable win at home. Betting on them to win by at least a two-goal margin offers excellent value.
