• Sheffield Wednesday have failed to score in their last nine matches

• Millwall have scored in their last four away matches

• Recommended bet: Millwall to be leading at half-time

Sheffield Wednesday have had a disastrous season, failing to recover from the blow of being deducted 18 points after entering administration in the autumn.

They set an unfortunate club record when losing 4-0 to Swansea last Saturday as it was the ninth straight league game where they failed to find the target.

Millwall currently sit in a play-off spot following a 2-0 away win at in-form Wrexham last Saturday, and their only defeat this year in the league has been at the hands of automatic promotion contenders Coventry.

Team news

Pierce Charles, George Brown and Ernie Weaver remain long-term absentees for Sheffield Wednesday.

Joe Bryan, Massimo Luongo and Benicio Baker are all on the sidelines for Millwall.

Prediction

Millwall manager Alex Neil called his team's success at Wrexham last Saturday "the perfect away performance", and the Lions should have little trouble picking up another three points on the road.

The Londoners have a knack of keeping clean sheets away from home, winning 2-0 at Watford last month and playing out a 0-0 stalemate at Southampton, while goals have also been plentiful of late.

They thrashed Charlton 4-0 at the Den recently and should find the net against a Sheffield Wednesday side who can only call on 18 registered first-team players, and one of them, Yan Valery, is on loan.

It is astonishing to think that the Owls have yet to win at home this season and managed just two shots on target during their most recent home defeat at Wrexham. 

Barry Bannan's move to Saturday's rivals at the end of last month has further diminished Wednesday's creativity, and while manager Henrik Pedersen has tried to put a positive spin on recent performances, it is hard to know what he can do to turn around a team lacking in any confidence.

Odds for a Millwall win look too short, and a better policy is to back them to be leading at half-time, as the south Londoners' confidence must be high and they will be keen to consolidate their play-off position..
