Sheffield Wednesday lock horns with Millwall on Saturday in the 32nd round of games in the Championship. The two sides are perched in opposite halves of the points table.
Henrik Pedersen’s Sheffield are fresh off a 4-0 defeat at Swansea City at the weekend. Following Goncalo Franco’s first-half opener, the Swans struck thrice without reply after the break, with Zan Vipotnik starring with a brace.
Thanks for the submission!
Following a ninth straight defeat across competitions, the Owls remain firmly rooted to the bottom of the standings, with a negative seven points from 31 matches, winning just once all season.
Meanwhile, Alex Neil’s Millwall are coming off a 2-0 win at promoted Wrexham last week. Following a goalless first half, Max Cleworth’s own goal just before the hour mark broke the deadlock before Josh Cobum made the points safe five minutes from time.
Following a third straight unbeaten outing – winning two – the Lions remain fifth in the points table, with 53 points from 31 matches, winning 15.
