Sheff Utd vs Millwall predictions & betting tips

Sheffield United’s relentless march towards the Championship title continues as they welcome Millwall to Bramall Lane on Tuesday, 8 April 2025. The Blades sit comfortably atop the table with 83 points from 39 matches, buoyed by a five-match unbeaten run. In contrast, Millwall languish in 13th place with 51 points, struggling to find consistency, particularly on their travels. With Sheffield United chasing promotion and Millwall looking to salvage their season, this fixture carries significant weight for both sides.

The momentum is firmly with the hosts, who have been prolific at Bramall Lane, averaging 1.44 goals per match. Tyrese Campbell, the Blades’ leading scorer with 10 goals, will be pivotal as they aim to extend their impressive form. Millwall, however, have endured a torrid time away from home, failing to score in seven of their 20 away fixtures. If they are to trouble Sheffield United’s resolute defence, the Lions will need Mihailo Ivanovic to provide creativity and Femi Azeez to deliver in front of goal.

The rivalry between these two clubs has been fiercely contested, with both sides winning 13 of their last 31 meetings. However, Sheffield United have had the upper hand in recent encounters, securing four victories in the last seven clashes. The Blades also hold a psychological edge, having edged Millwall 1-0 in their previous meeting, a result that showcased their ability to grind out crucial points in tight contests.

A victory for Sheffield United would further cement their position at the summit and edge them closer to promotion. For Millwall, this match offers a chance to improve their dismal away record and climb the table. With the Blades’ formidable home form and Millwall’s penchant for late drama, this promises to be a high-stakes battle under the lights at Bramall Lane.
