Swansea vs Millwall predictions: Lions can prove tough for Swans
Swansea have drawn three of their last four home matches
Millwall have one of their last six games in all competitions
Recommended bet: Draw
Swansea City enjoyed a stunning comeback victory over Nottingham Forest in the EFL Cup last week, but they were brought back down to earth by Birmingham a few days later.
This defeat leaves them 11th in the Championship table heading into this mid-table clash at the Swansea.com Stadium.
Millwall are fresh off their first win since August and will be looking to seal another three points as they continue their ascent towards the play-off spots.

Team news
Swans manager Alan Sheehan will be without the services of Ricardo Santos, who is not expected to return until next month at the earliest.
Jay Fulton is a doubt having missed the previous four games, but these are the only injury issues Sheehan has to contend with.
In contrast, the Lions have quite the injury list. Alex Neil will have to make do without Benicio Baker, Casper De Norre, Femi Azeez, Alfie Doughty and Lukas Jensen for this contest.
On a more positive note, midfielder Billy Mitchell looks set to return to the first-team squad after missing games against Sheffield United, Wrexham, Charlton Athletic and Watford recently.
The stats
The Swans have a poor recent head-to-head record against Millwall, losing all three previous match-ups 1-0.
Indeed, the club have won just two of the last eight meetings dating back to the start of the 2021/22 campaign.
One goal or fewer has been scored across five of those eight clashes and expect no different this weekend.
The home side have scored only six goals in six Championship matches this season, while the Lions have netted one fewer over the same number of matches.
Ronald Pereira and Zan Vipotnik are Swansea's top league scorers with three goals each.
For Millwall, only Camiel Neghli has scored more than once in the Championship, netting twice.

Prediction
Both managers are fairly new to their respective clubs, meaning Swansea and Millwall are still getting used to new tactical systems and ideas.
The home side tend to dominate the ball during games, averaging 56.6% possession over their six matches thus far.
Compare this to Neil's counter-attacking philosophy and the match could turn out to be a tight affair.
With the previous three games between the clubs yielding just three goals, do not expect much to separate the teams this weekend.
Sheehan will turn to Pereira as inspiration in breaking through a robust away defence, with the winger having scored against Hull , Sheff Wed and Sheff Utd already this season.
The likelihood is both teams will cancel each other out, taking home a share of the spoils in this intriguing mid-table meeting.
