Millwall
Sheffield WednesdayMillwall
The Lions have been in superb form in recent weeks and they have only lost one of their last 9 matches – including a solid 2-0 at Reading last time out. They currently sit 14th in the Championship with 38 points from 30 games and they look well placed to avoid the drop as it stands. George Saville has notched 7 goals for the Lions this season from midfield in what has been an impressive season for the young midfielder.
Sheffield Wednesday
Jos Luhukay is the new man in charge at Hillsborough and the Dutchman seems to be pulling the Owls away from danger slowly but surely. Goals could be the issue for Wednesday, they’ve only notched 34 goals in 32 league games this season and have only scored one goal under Luhukay in the Championship. Gary Hooper has been in sensational form this season – notching 11 goals for the Owls at an average of 184 minutes per goal.
