Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:
Sheffield Wednesday host Millwall at Hillsborough hoping to get a second win in four days at the start of 2025.
The Owls beat Derby County 4-2 on New Year’s Day thanks to goals from Barry Bannan, Josh Windass, Djeidi Gassama and Anthony Musaba.
Rohl’s side have lost just twice in their last ten Championship matches and are just three points off the final playoff spot.
Top scorer Josh Windass scored his tenth of the season against The Rams and Wednesday have scored 36 times in 25 league outings so far.
Millwall would have been hoping for a new manager bounce against Oxford United on New Year’s Day but instead went down 1-0 to Gary Rowett’s side.
The Lions had looked as if they would be challenging the playoff places but are in an alarming drop down the table after just one win in 10 games. That solitary victory came just before Christmas against Blackburn Rovers but have followed that up with a draw at Coventry City sandwiched between defeats to Norwich City and Oxford.
Neil’s new charges find themselves 13th in the Championship with 29 points from their 23 matches.
The last 15 meetings between these teams have all come in the Championship and it is Millwall who just edge the contest with five wins to four.
When these two sides faced each other in August, it was a Casper de Norre inspired Millwall who ran out 3-0 victors at The Den. On loan Josh Coburn opened the scoring just before the hour. Duncan Watmore and Jake Cooper sealed the three points for the hosts.
The spoils were shared the season before as both sides won the away fixture. Millwall handed The Owls a beating at Hillsborough back in November 2023. Murray Wallace, George Saville, Wes Harding and Brooke Norton-Cuffy were on the scoresheet in a comprehensive 4-0 win.
The return fixture saw a vital win for a Sheffield Wednesday side that were playing catch up with those above the relegation places. Ike Ugbo and man of the match Anthony Musaba have Wednesday a two goal cushion and Rohl’s men were able to hold on despite losing Ashley Fletcher to a second yellow card in stoppage time.
