'I'm positive' - David Prutton delivers score prediction for Sheffield Wednesday vs Millwall

The Owls have won four of their last five outings in the Championship, and edged out Bournemouth when the two sides met on Tuesday evening.

By contrast, the Lions have drawn their last three league matches on the bounce, and played out a goalless stalemate against Norwich City in midweek.

But Prutton believes that Wednesday will have too much for the hosts when the two clubs meet at The Den this weekend.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, he said: “This game has a recent history of goalless draws.

"But with both sides needing a win I feel like this will be different. Millwall are drifting along and need to snap out of a run of draws.

“I'm positive about Sheffield Wednesday's hopes of survival, and that was a big win at Bournemouth in midweek.

"If they can keep providing for Jordan Rhodes then I think they could claim another three points here.”

Prutton forecasts a 2-1 win for the Owls.

Three of the last four meetings between the two clubs have ended in stalemates, including a goalless draw back in November.

The one exception to that trend came in August 2019, when Millwall ran out 1-0 winners.

Wednesday haven't beaten the Lions since August 2018, with Barry Bannan and Tom Lees scoring the goals in a 2-1 victory.

Three points this weekend could see the Owls climb as high as 20th in the table, depending on results elsewhere and goal difference.
