Swansea City vs Millwall prediction
Both sides have had decent starts to the new season, with the Swans still alive in the EFL Cup, while Millwall were knocked out on penalties in the third round at Crystal Palace.

In fact, the Swans are winless in four home Championship meetings with the Lions, losing twice, since a 2-1 victory in October 2020. With Millwall making the slightly better start to the season, expect them to continue their recent dominance over the Swans with a hard-fought win.
