Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Championship match.
This game could go any of three ways, as the bookmakers have not given a clear advantage to either side. There's a slight edge favouring the visitors. Is it worth betting on the outcome?
Millwall
In Millwall matches, an average of two goals are scored per game. While this isn't the case in every match, their goal tally (20:16) suggests just that. For eight consecutive matches, they have managed to score exactly one goal, which has been enough to pick up points. However, in the last round, they couldn't find the back of the net against Coventry City (0:1).
Sheffield United
Sheffield United also average around two goals per match, with a record of 27:11. Their ratio is slightly better, as is their standing in the table. Although Leeds United have edged ahead with a victory and have already played their 20th-round fixture, Sheffield's two-goal average persisted only because they shifted away from their economical dry wins. In the last four rounds, Sheffield United have had two 2:2 results (against Coventry City and West Bromwich Albion) and a 3:0 win over Oxford United.
Millwall vs Sheffield United Prediction
We believe Millwall will disrupt Sheffield United's propensity for high-scoring games. When they face off against Millwall, matches frequently end with a total under 2.5, as seen in five of their last seven encounters.
