Another midtable clash awaits Millwall this weekend as they travel to Swansea on Saturday. The London outfit are without an away win in 2024/25, but will hope to put that record right against the Swans, who have failed to win in five.

Swansea vs Millwall prediction: Can the Lions score against the Swans?
- Swansea have seen remarkably few goals in their games. They have conceded just seven in 11 outings, but have scored only eight, the lowest tally in the Championship.
- Millwall have struggled on the road, and are without an away since the final day of 2023/24, a 1-0 win over… Swansea.
- Despite their impressive defensive record, Swansea have conceded an eye-watering 15.8 expected goals. Goalkeeper Lawrence Vigoroux has the highest save percentage in the division.
Correct score prediction: Swansea City 0-1 Millwall
This battle between 13th and 14th place is not likely to be a high-scorer, with Swansea seeing fewer goals in their games than any other side in the Championship.
But with no goals in four games, there is only so long Vigoroux can keep the Swans in games. As such, we expect a repeat of last season and a narrow away win.
Pre-game odds and win probability:
HOME: 29/20 (2.45) – 40.8%
DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
AWAY: 21/10 (3.10) – 32.3%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Swansea are this clash's expected winners, with the bookmakers giving them a 40.8% chance of victory. However, we think Millwall will make it two wins on the spin.

Most recent H2Hs:
Honours have been almost perfectly even between these two Championship regulars in recent season, with two wins each as well as two stalemates in their last six.
Interestingly, last season saw the away side win both fixtures, with Swansea romping to a 3-0 win at The Den.

Swansea preview: short on entertainment
As mentioned above, Swansea have struggled for goals, and have been exceedingly reliant on the brilliance of Vigoroux between the sticks.
The South Wales side have missed last season's top scorer Jamal Lowe, who is now at Sheffield Wednesday. Striker Liam Cullen has been unable to fill the void, with just two goals so far.
The Swans will be without Josh Ginelly, Andrew Fisher and Ji-Sung Eom for this one.
Predicted lineup: Vigoroux (GK), Naughton, Cabando, Darling, Tymon, Franco, Grimes, Allen, Pereira, Cullen, Abdulai.

Millwall preview: turning the corner?
One week ago, Millwall were 18th in the table, and looking down the table. But coming into this one, they are a far healthier 13th.
Millwall boast the third-best expected goal difference in the league, indicating that the good times should keep coming.
Billy Mitchell, Josh Coburn and Tom Bradshaw are still a week or two away from full fitness.
Predicted lineup: Jensen (GK), Leonard, Tanganga, Cooper, Bryan, de Norre, Saville, Esse, Honeyman, Azeez, Ivanovic

Player to watch: George Honeyman
Creative midfielder George Honeyman is rarely among the goals, with just two goals since his 2022 move to Millwall.
However, the 30-year-old Englishman was excellent against Plymouth midweek, setting up Romain Esse's winner, his third assist of the season.
His creativity from the number ten spot will be key to Millwall breaking down a stubborn Swansea defence.
