Saturday’s hosts, Sheffield Wednesday, will be desperate to pull themselves out of the current slump that they’re in when they play host to Millwall at Hillsborough, with Garry Monk’s side needing a win to get them back on track.
An earlier 6-match spell without defeat from the end of November through to just before Christmas saw The Owls win 4 of these 6 matches which included victories over Charlton Athletic, Brentford, Nottingham Forest and Bristol City and it seemed that Sheffield Wednesday were making a sustained challenge for a possible play-off spot.
Fast-forward to today and Sheffield Wednesday have lost 5 of their subsequent 6 matches in the Championship as the wheels have well and truly come off in spectacular fashion, with just a 2-0 win away from home at Championship leaders to show for their efforts during this miserable sequence of results.
Having lost their last 3 home matches on the trot to Cardiff City, Hull City and Blackburn Rovers (the latter being a 5-0 thrashing), expectations have to be realistic ahead of this clash against Millwall, and The owls may well settle for a point here to stop the bleeding.
Onto Millwall, and The Lions dropped down to 9th place on the Championship ladder following their midweek 3-2 defeat away from home at Championship leaders, Leeds United, but it was a gallant effort nonetheless, and they may well feel they have a chance of bouncing back against an unsteady Sheffield Wednesday outfit this Saturday.
Before their loss at Elland Road, Millwall had lost just 1 of their previous 13 matches overall in the Championship as manager Gary Rowett has done a sterling job in transforming Millwall into genuine play-off contenders.
Despite the loss to Leeds, Millwall are still just 3 points adrift of Bristol City and the play-off pack, while their results away from home show that Millwall have lost just once in their last 7 matches on their travels.
However, before e get too carried away with the prospect of a Millwall win here, the visitors are tied on 7 draws apiece with Cardiff City as the teams with the most number of stalemates on the road in the Championship to date this season.
With Sheffield Wednesday desperate to avoid a third defeat on the trot and Millwall’s tendencies to draw on their travels, this clash could end up all square at Hillsborough.
