Swansea lead the Championship standings after taking 20 points from a possible 27, suffering defeat only once in nine outings. Their away record is particularly strong, featuring three wins from four road fixtures alongside eight goals scored. Millwall have experienced mixed form with four wins, two draws, and three losses, and their defensive record of 15 goals conceded in nine matches highlights vulnerabilities that Swansea's attack can exploit. Millwall also face significant squad disruption with injuries to J. Coburn, C. De Norre, M. Ivanovic, L. Jensen, and M. Luongo. Backing Swansea to win or draw covers two of the three match outcomes while respecting Millwall's respectable home showing.

Match preview
League leaders Swansea travel to The Den to face eighth-placed Millwall in round ten of the Championship. Swansea arrive at the summit of the standings with 20 points from nine matches, having suffered just one defeat across the entire league campaign. Millwall sit within the playoff pack on 14 points, aiming to build on a 1-0 away victory over Preston.
The visitors have strung together positive momentum in recent weeks, recording three consecutive victories including a 2-1 triumph against Norwich and a 2-1 away win over Lincoln. Swansea possess the stingiest defense in the division's upper tier, conceding just seven goals across nine fixtures while scoring 15. Millwall present a potent home attack averaging 2.3 goals scored per match, but they face selection constraints with five players sidelined.
While Millwall hold a favorable head-to-head record across the last ten encounters with five wins to Swansea's two, the Welsh side's current consistency and resilience make this a stern test. Swansea have taken three wins from four away trips, giving them a dependable platform to secure a positive outcome in South London.
