Hillsborough
THE MATCH
The Owls are back at Hillsborough on Saturday!
Millwall are next up for Danny Röhl’s side in S6, who are looking to build on a win at home last time out against Rotherham.
The aim for the Owls now is to turn these vastly improved performances into points.
A first win of the season against the Millers provided a much-needed boost and one more on Saturday would lift spirits further ahead of the international break.
For Millwall, it’s been all change recently and the Lions will head to Hillsborough under new manager Joe Edwards.
Gary Rowett left his post as Millwall boss last month after a four-year stint in the hotseat.
Last weekend the Lions suffered a late, late home defeat against Southampton under the caretaker charge of Adam Barrett. Ryan Fraser struck in the 93rd minute to seal the points and leave Millwall 18th in the table.

Each shirt will be individually signed by the respective player to make a unique piece of sporting history.
