Millwall 0-1 Sheffield United

Current streaks

Recent form

Millwall

Millwall's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the Lions struggling to find consistency in their Championship campaign. After a promising run of two consecutive 1-0 victories against strong opponents Leeds United and Burnley, Millwall have since failed to secure a win in their last four matches. The team's defensive solidity is noteworthy, having conceded only four goals in their last six games and keeping two clean sheets. However, their attacking prowess has been lacking, with just five goals scored in this period and an average of 0.83 goals per game. Interestingly, all of Millwall's recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 100% of their last six games featuring under 2.5 goals. Despite their current 11th position in the league, Millwall's inability to convert draws into wins – as evidenced by their three consecutive 1-1 draws – may be hampering their push for a higher league standing.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United are in fine form, currently sitting second in the Championship with an impressive 38 points from 18 games. The Blades are unbeaten in their last six matches, with four wins and two draws, showcasing their resilience and consistency. They've been particularly potent in attack, scoring 11 goals in this period at an average of 1.83 per game, while their defence has been equally impressive, conceding just five goals and keeping three clean sheets. Their last outing, a 2-2 draw with West Brom, was one of their higher-scoring affairs, while their 3-0 victory over Oxford United stands out as their most convincing recent win. Notably, Sheffield United have not tasted defeat in their last eight games, a streak that has undoubtedly contributed to their lofty league position.

Recent home/away form

Millwall

Millwall have shown resilient form at home, with a notable defensive record. In their last six home matches, they have secured three consecutive 1-0 victories, demonstrating their ability to grind out narrow wins. The Lions have been particularly stingy in defence, conceding only three goals in these six games and keeping three clean sheets. However, their attacking output has been modest, scoring just five goals across these matches. Remarkably, all six games have seen under 2.5 goals, highlighting a trend of low-scoring encounters at The Den. Despite their recent loss to Coventry City breaking a three-game winning streak, Millwall have remained unbeaten in four of their last six home fixtures, suggesting they are generally tough to beat on their own turf.

Sheffield United

Sheffield United have shown mixed form away from home in their recent fixtures, with a balanced record of two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six away matches. The Blades have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, with four of their last six away games seeing both teams find the back of the net. Interestingly, they've managed to maintain a consistent goal-scoring record, netting exactly two goals in each of their last four away fixtures. However, their defensive performance has been somewhat inconsistent, keeping only one clean sheet in this run. Despite their varied results, Sheffield United have demonstrated resilience, coming from behind to secure draws in their two most recent away matches against West Brom and Coventry City, both ending 2-2. These statistics suggest that whilst the Blades are capable of scoring on their travels, they've struggled to convert this into consistent victories.
