The team's goal-scoring has been consistent, netting eight times in this period, with their highest-scoring game being a 3-1 home win against Coventry City. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tighter, lower-scoring encounters. Despite the recent loss, Sheffield United's overall form remains robust as they push for promotion.

Millwall

Millwall's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Lions alternating between wins and losses in their last six matches. This pattern has seen them secure three victories and suffer three defeats, leaving them in 9th position in the Championship table. The team have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring just 5 goals in their last 6 games, averaging a mere 0.83 goals per match. Defensively, Millwall have been somewhat vulnerable, conceding 7 goals during this period and managing only one clean sheet. Their matches have generally been low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games featuring fewer than 2.5 goals. Despite their mixed form, Millwall have shown resilience on the road, securing an impressive away victory against Watford. However, their home form has been a concern, with a 2-0 defeat to Bristol City at The Den highlighting areas for improvement.

Recent home/away form

Millwall

Millwall's recent away form has been inconsistent, with the Lions struggling to find consistent success on their travels. In their last six away matches, Millwall have managed two wins, one draw, and three losses, indicating a mixed run of results. The team have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of these six matches, conceding eight goals in total, which suggests some defensive frailties away from home. Notably, Millwall are currently on a two-game losing streak away from home, having fallen to Sunderland and Leeds United in their most recent outings. The Lions' goal-scoring record on the road has been modest, with an average of just 0.83 goals per game in their last six away fixtures. However, their 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup stands out as the highest-scoring match in this run, with four goals in total. Despite their mixed away form, Millwall have managed to maintain a respectable 9th position in the league table, suggesting better performances at home may be bolstering their overall standing.
