Stalemate on the cards when Millwall host Sheffield Weds
1940
Millwall’s manager, Neil Harris, swept the decks at the Den during the summer months and his clear-out seems to have paid early dividends as Millwall remain unbeaten so far this season.
An opening day win in the Championship against Preston North End 1-0 at home was followed by a solid point away from home when they held West Brom to a 1-1 draw at The Hawthorns.
West Brom were Millwall’s opponents again during the week in the League Cup where Millwall registered a 2-1 at The Hawthorns, so confidence is likely to be high amongst The Lions camp right now.
However, Millwall manager, Neil Harris, won’t let his boys get too carried away as the London club have recorded just 2 home wins out of their last 11 matches at The Den, which were gained against Preston North End this season, and, yes you’ve guessed it - West Brom.
During this recent 11-match period, Millwall have been involved in 5 draws with stalemates against Rotherham United, QPR, Brentford, Stoke City and Saturday’s opponents, Sheffield Wednesday.
Onto Sheffield Wednesday then, and if there had been upheaval at the club just prior to the start of this new Championship season, then nobody told The Owls as they’ve registered back-to-back wins in the second tier, starting their season off in style.
Convincing wins away at Reading 3-1 on the opening day and 2-0 at home against Yorkshire rivals, Barnsley, last weekend has handed caretaker-manager, Lee Bullen and his side a valuable 6 points and a 100% record.
Sheffield Wednesday sit joint top of the Championship with newly promoted Charlton Athletic as the second tier have surprise league leaders in these early stages of this new campaign.
However, before we get too carried away, the win at Reading was Sheffield Wednesday’s first win on the road from 5 outings, in a sequence that also includes 3 draws, so The Owls are no strangers to the odd stalemate here and there.
In actual fact, 6 of Sheffield Wednesday’s last 10 away matches in the Championship have ended in draws, so this result is certainly prevalent.
With 4 of the last 8 meetings between Millwall and Sheffield Wednesday ending in draws, as well as both teams no doubt keen to remain unbeaten, there’s a fair chance Saturday’s encounter could also end in stalemate.
