Prediction

Both sides have had a poor 2023-24 campaign so far and lie in the bottom half of the Championship. Their recent run isn’t great either but Sheffield Wednesday did manage one win in their last five games.

However, Millwall are at home and also hammered Sheffield 4-0 in the reverse fixture. There isn’t much to separate between the two sides but the hosts should edge out a win.

Predicted Score: Millwall 2-1 Sheffield Wednesday
