Swansea City vs Millwall Prediction: Teams are very close on the leaderboard

Swansea City will welcome Millwall at Swansea.com Stadium in Game Week 12 of the English Championship. The teams are very close on the leaderboard. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Swansea City form

While Swansea have conceded only seven goals in 11 games so far in league this season, things are not going the right way for their supporters. They have scored only eight goals as they have won only three games while none of them was in last five games. They could not score a single goal in their last four games against Sheffield United, Stoke City, Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday. Despite a goalless draw against Sheffield Wednesday, Swansea remains six points adrift of the playoff places. Williams can draw positives from their five-match unbeaten run at home, where they have garnered nine points and conceded just two. 

Swansea City Expected Starting Line-up

Vigouroux; Naughton, Cabango, Darling, Tymon; Fulton, Grimes; Ronald, Cooper, Abdulai; Cullen

Millwall form

Neil Harris's Millwall has steadied ship after a calamitous start to the season. The team lost just twice in the last nine, and the last victory, 1-0 over Plymouth Argyle, was their third successive without a defeat, after back-to-back draws with West Bromwich Albion and Derby County. Millwall has yet to win a league game away this season. Its last league victory away was when it beat Swansea in May.

Millwall Predicted Starting 11

Jensen; Leonard, Tanganga, Cooper, Bryan; De Norre, Saville; Esse, Honeyman, Azeez; Longstaff

Swansea City vs Millwall Expert Tips

Ollie Cooper and Liam Cullen may earn a share of the attack for Swansea, and a spot on the bench could fall for Zan Vipotnik.

Joe Allen is fit in the middle but it may take a little time for the backline to shift away from its usual starting selection unless Joshua Key can come into the side for Kyle Naughton. Millwall seems likely to make only one change to their side from the previous game, with Macaulay Longstaff returning to the attack. Depending upon how Romain Esse and Femi Azeez respond after missing the game at the weekend, Ivanovic will probably still be replaced if the latter pair are deemed fit enough. Watson should be back in the starting eleven after missing the Swansea game for personal reasons. Swansea looks unlikely to score unless they manage to improve upon their attacking efficiency from this game. The draw is likely to be a tie that neither of the two teams would want to lose.
