Prediction: 1-0
Swansea
Millwall play host to Swansea City at the Den on day 24 of the new Championship campaign. The Lions have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Birmingham at home, while losing to both Hull City and Peterborough on the road. The capital club are undefeated in the previous five home fixtures, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the Boxing Day clash.
Both Connor Mahoney and Ryan Leonard are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. The Swans, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league fixtures. Considering that Millwall are a real force to be reckoned with at home, the Swans are unlikely to grab something from the Boxing Day game. Defender Ethan Laird should be the only absentee in the away team.
