Millwall vs Swansea City Prediction: Millwall will be looking to extend their good run of form

Millwall will welcome Swansea City at The Den in Game Week 9 of the English Championship. Millwall will be looking to extend their good run of form. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Millwall form

There have been instances this season where Millwall has appeared to be a shadow of the team that narrowly missed out on the playoffs in the 2022-23 season. However, under Gary Rowett's leadership, the team seems to have turned a corner by securing four points in matches against Rotherham United and West Bromwich Albion, and by keeping two clean sheets. Apart from their 3-0 loss to Leeds United, Millwall has gathered eight points in their last five league games, which has put an end to their three-game losing streak. Despite only scoring seven goals in eight league matches, Rowett's team is only two points away from the playoff spots, which highlights their strong defensive efforts. Six out of the eight goals they conceded were in games against Norwich City and Leeds, making Swansea aware of the challenge they face in the capital.

Millwall Predicted Lineup

The potential starting lineup for Millwall includes Bialkowski, Cooper, Harding, Leonard, Norton-Cuffy, Campbell, De Norre, Mitchell, Longman, Watmore, and Flemming.

Swansea City form

Michael Duff aimed to have an immediate impact in South Wales, but it has taken until mid-September and beyond for him to feel like he is making significant progress. In his first six Championship games, Duff's team recorded two draws and four defeats, but they have now earned four points in their last two outings against Queens Park Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday. While these teams are currently considered weaker in the second tier, Swansea faced pressure to perform, especially in their 3-0 victory against Sheffield Wednesday. Not only did Swansea score three goals in a Championship match for the first time under Duff's management, but they also achieved their first clean sheet. This has created a sense that the momentum may be shifting back in their favor.

Swansea City Predicted Lineup

Swansea City's potential starting lineup consists of Rushworth, Key, Cabango, Darling, Pedersen, Patino, Grimes, Cullen, Paterson, Yates, and Lowe
