Millwall form and stats

10 victories, 6 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Millwall have to build on here at The Den in the Championship.

Millwall drew their last game, 2-2 away at Luton Town (placed 4th).

Heartbreak before that as Millwall lost 0-2 at Stoke City's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Millwall perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Millwall as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Millwall has won three of these, drawn six and lost three.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Barnsley are coming to town in four days.

Millwall has scored 23 league goals at home this season, in 19 matches. More than 65 percent of these goals (15 in total) came after at least one hour had been played. From these home matches, Millwall have conceded only 13 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Swansea City form and stats

6 wins, 4 draws and 10 losses. That’s the product of Swansea City playing as the away team in the Championship this season. Swansea love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Swansea City goalkeeper Andy Fisher is eager to challenge this, with his 207 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Two trips in a row for Swansea City, whose coach Martin could celebrate last time after the win against Cardiff City. Obafemi, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.43. Obafemi scored two goals and hit one key pass.

A draw for Swansea City before that, at their own venue hosting Birmingham City (0-0).

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Swansea playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were five Swansea City wins, two draws and five defeats.

A new game in only four days for Swansea City, the Championship home match versus Derby County. Busy days.

Swansea City find the net regularly in their away games. 22 goals from 20 away fixtures in the league. Swansea's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 32 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 3 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
