The EFL Championship continues after the International Break on Saturday 23rd November 2024 as Millwall take on high flyers Sunderland.
Sunderland are the team to beat in the Championship this season. They have proven a tough test for all opponents. But this will certainly not be an easy game as they take on Millwall who are in very good form. Who will win this match?
Millwall Predicted Lineup - Lukas Jensen; Danny McNamara, Jake Cooper, Japhet Tanganga, Ryan Leonard; Ryan Wintle, Casper De Norre; Femi Azeez, Josh Coburn, Romain Esse; Tom Bradshaw
Millwall have put themselves firmly in the playoff conversation having picked up 23 points so far. They sit in 8th place right now. But on the form they are in, this could change very quickly. Climbing the table after this game is a possibility.
They don’t tend to score many goals having only scored 18 times this season so far however they have a very good defensive record leading to them only conceding 13 goals. Having kept five clean sheets in seven games as well they will be hopeful to keep out this strong Sunderland side.
Sunderland Predicted Lineup - Simon Moore; Dennis Cirkin, Luke O'Nien, Chris Mepham, Trai Hume; Romaine Mundle, Alan Browne, Dan Neil, Patrick Roberts; Wilson Isidor, Chris Rigg
As mentioned, Sunderland have been on fire this season. They are currently top of the league having picked up 31 points so far. They are only on top thanks to their goal difference though so a win is needed if they are to pull away again.
Their record in front of goal and at the back is outstanding so it is no surprise. They have scored the most goals in the league (25) and have conceded the fourth fewest goals as well (11). Will that continue in this game?
Millwall and Sunderland have played one another 42 times so far. Sunderland have a very slight advantage in this fixture with 16 wins to their names. This while Millwall have only won 14 times. There have also been 12 draws.
Interestingly, four of the last six games have ended in a draw proving in more recent years not a whole lot separates the two sides.
Not only this but Millwall haven’t lost against Sunderland at home since September 1995.

This is going to be a very close game between two teams in great form. There really isn’t much to separate them and so we would expect yet another draw from this fixture.
