Sheffield United v Millwall Betting Preview – Championship 14th April 1.00pm
Big game for both of these at Bramall Lane. The Blades are three points out of the play off places and Millwall are one of those sides that they are trying to reel in. So this would be a huge move from the Blades if they can deliver the points on home soil. Millwall though are in a long, long run of positive form and aren’t going to be easily knocked down at the moment.
Sheffield United News and Form
The Blades pulled out a win of huge importance on Tuesday night, beating fellow playoff contenders Middlesbrough 2-1 at Bramall Lane. That keeps the Blades in the hunt for a top-six finish this season. Sheffield United have only lost one of their last seven league outings now in a W2 D4 L1 record and they have been going strong at home. They have strung together a six-match undefeated streak of home form in the Championship and they have scored at least two goals in back to back games there. Over 2.5 goals at Paddy Power is at 6/5 odds* (betting odds taken at 11:55 p.m. on April 10th, 2018). Sheffield United are W12 D4 L5 for the season at Bramall Lane and they have scored exactly two goals in each of their last four home victories. But still, this is going to be another crucial game for them, because defeat in it would likely shut the door on their chances of landing a play off place this season. That is because Millwall are the team in sixth and the ones that the Blades are trying to close the three-point gap too. A win for them keeps the door wide open. Once again, everything is pretty much on the line for the Blades.
Millwall News and Form
Millwall kept up their hot form with another win in midweek against Bolton and that put them in the play off places. They are now sixteen matches unbeaten in the league and are unbeaten in their last eight away from The Den. They have hit the back of the net in each of their last nine away games too. Millwall have scored exactly two goals in each of their last five league games now and their last four wins in the Championship have all been by a 2-0 scoreline. In the Paddy Power correct score market Millwall 2-0 is out at a big 14/1 odds option with the 1-1 draw the shortest option at 5/1 odds* (betting odds taken at 11:55 p.m. on April 10th, 2018). There should be goals in this one. The Lions have tremendous away from behind them at the moment with just two points dropped in their last eight on the road. That’s some form. They have conceded in just one of their last six league matches now and are just oozing confidence and form. They are on a thirteen match scoring streak in the league. Three points here will open up a six-point gap over one of the threats for a top six finish. That would be huge.
Fulham v Brentford Head to Head
Millwall collected all three points on home soil against Sheffield United at The Den earlier this season. They are up in the recent head to head form with four wins in their last five against the Blades. Sheffield United took a 2-0 win in this corresponding fixture last season and but that is their only success in their last five home fixtures against the Lions (D2 L2).
