Sheffield United vs Millwall prediction

The two sides haven't burst out the gates this season, especially Sheffield, who have lost all three games, including twice in the Championship, having made the play-off final last season, losing 2-1 to Sunderland.

In terms of head-to-head, there's nothing to separate the two sides, even in recent meetings, with Millwall enjoying a slight edge in Championship skirmishes. In fact, the Blades have won just twice at home in 10 league meetings with Millwall, losing four, including last season.

The Lions are looking to win their opening two away league games of a season for the first time since 1996. Considering their slight dominance in league meetings, especially away from home, expect Sheffield's misery to continue with a narrow defeat.

Prediction: Sheffield United 0-1 Millwall
