Sheff Wed are without a win in their last 10 league matches
Recommended bet: Millwall to win
Millwall host Sheffield Wednesday at the Den on Wednesday evening looking for a first victory in five Championship matches.
The Owls have lost six of their last eight games, are winless in 10 and are rooted to the bottom of the table following a 12-point deduction after going into administration in October.

Team news
Lions defender Joe Bryan is unavailable through suspension after being sent off at Portsmouth on Saturday, while fellow left-back Zak Sturge is a doubt having gone off as a concussion precaution in the defeat to Pompey.
Derek Mazou-Sacko also withdrew early at Fratton Park and could also miss out on Wednesday, but, in more positive news, defender Jake Cooper is available after serving a ban.
Wednesday defender Dominic Iorfa went off injured in Sunday's 3-0 derby defeat to Sheff Utd and so could miss out meaning, new boy Liam Cooper could make his first start for the Owls.
Di'Shon Bernard, goalkeeper Pierce Charles and Nathanial Chalobah are among the other six players Wednesday currently have in the treatment room.
The stats
Millwall have lost just one of their last nine league games against Wednesday, keeping six clean sheets in that run.
The Owls have lost four of their last six away league games against Millwall, with the exceptions being a 0-0 draw in February 2019 and a 2-0 victory in February 2024.
The Lions are unbeaten in their last four at home, winning three and drawing one, scoring seven goals and conceding just once.
Wednesday have won just one of their last 11 away league games, beating Portsmouth 2-0 in September.
However, the Owls have earned more points away from home (6) than they have at Hillsborough so far this season.

Prediction
Millwall had climbed to third after four straight victories in October, but November has been nowhere near as productive, with the Lions only managing two draws and losing at Birmingham and Portsmouth.
However, the visit of a depleted and battle-weary Wednesday to The Den should give the Londoners confidence that they can return to winning ways as they sit just outside the play-offs on goal difference.
The Owls continue to navigate a nightmare off-field situation which resulted in administration and a 12-point deduction.
If that was not tough enough, manager Henrik Pedersen is also dealing with a number of injuries that have hit his small squad all campaign.
While Wednesday have fared better away from home – their sole league win of the season came on the road against Portsmouth at Fratton Park – they are struggling currently and look set for a seventh defeat in nine games.
Backing Millwall to earn a routine home victory as Alex Neil and his side look to get their Championship season back on track is the smart pick.
