Recent respective form guides

Sheffield United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While The Blades have scored 7, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

Millwall's away form is none too clever either, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While the The Lions have hit 5 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Sheff. Utd. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Npower Championship with a return of just 27 points from their 29 games thus far. Millwall lie just outside the playoff positions in the Npower Championship, picking up 45 from their 30 games so far.
