Sheff. Utd. travel to take on Millwall at The Den on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Blades will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The last time the two teams met at Millwall was back in October 2005, over five years ago, where Sheff. Utd. annihilated the The Blades 0 - 4 in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides
Millwall's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Lions have scored 6, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.
Sheff. Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. Only 5 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 leaked at the wrong end.
Millwall see themselves just below half way in the Npower Championship, showing a record of 20 points from their 16 games played so far, Sheff. Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 16 points from 16 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...
An indifferent set of results for Sheff. Utd. on the road, and I believe this game is only going to yield a solitary point for the The Blades. No-score draw
