Prediction: 1-0
Millwall
Bramall Lane will host Tuesday’s football match between Sheffield United and Millwall. The Blades quickly bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Bournemouth, with the team beating Stoke City in their last league match. Sheffield United are eyeing their fourth home win of the process, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. All Jack O’Connell, Sander Berge, George Baldock, Luke Freeman, and Rhys Norrington-Davies are injured for the hosts.
The Lions, on the other hand, have been playing some low-scoring games of late. There have been under 2.5 goals in each of their last eight league fixtures, and seeing that Sheffield United are capable of keeping a clean sheet in front of home fans, we are tempted to put our money on under 2.5 goals. Scott Malone is rated doubtful for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Jack Rodwell):
Once an exciting midfielder talent who left his boyhood club Everton for Manchester City in 2012, Jack Rodwell has been attracting plenty of criticism over the past couple of years due to the lack of playing time and refusal to leave the Etihad, despite being on the margins with Citizens.
Rodwell joined Everton’s academy when he was eight and soared through the ranks to emerge as one of the key players for the Merseyside club during his five-year stay with the Toffees. A talked-about £15 million move to City turned into a largely disappointing two-year stint with the Citizens, before Rodwell moved to Sunderland.
Having largely struggled to replicate his flying form from his time at Everton, Rodwell signed for the Championship club Blackburn Rovers in 2018 for the remainder of the season, in a bid to get his career back on track. Rodwell represented England through all youth ranks up to the senior side, for which he only managed three caps.
Highlighted Team (Millwall):
Based in Bermonsdey, South East London, Millwall are a football club whose supporters have often been associated with hooliganism. West Ham United are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two teams.
The Lions share rivalry with Charlton as well and the two teams first met back in 1921. The Den is Milwall’s home ground at the capacity of the stadium, which was opened in 1993, is 20.146.
The capital club did well to make it to the 2003/2004 FA Cup final, but Premier League giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Lions. The Red Devils won the game 3-0, but despite suffering the heavy loss in the title game, Milwall booked their place in the UEFA Cup. However, Ferencvaros of Hungary proved to be a big catch for the English outfit in the two-legged tie.
Australia international Tim Cahill is considered one of the most notable footballers who whore Millwall shirt (1998-2004).
