Match preview: Owls v Millwall

31 January 2020

The Owls will be looking for a reaction this weekend after slipping to five defeats from six in the Championship.

Manager Garry Monk was critical of the performance in midweek after Wigan came from behind to win 2-1 at the DW Stadium and has demanded more from his squad this weekend.

Wednesday’s home form has been a concern of late with three defeats on the bounce in S6, while his side have enjoyed better fortune on the road with recent wins over Brighton, Leeds and QPR.

The Lions arrive at Hillsborough after back to back defeats.

Gary Rowett’s side lost 2-0 in the FA Cup at home to Sheffield United before letting slip a 2-0 lead over Leeds to lose out 3-2 at Elland Road.
