Swansea v Millwall Competition - Sky Bet Championship Venue - Swansea.com Stadium Date - 27 September 2025 Kick off - 12:30pm Following their desperately unlucky 0-1 defeat away to Birmingham, next up for Alan Sheehan’s Swansea squad is a difficult looking home match against Millwall. Last Saturday, substitute Lyndon Dykes struck in the fourth minute of added time to give Birmingham City a dramatic win over the Swans. A breathless first half produced a hatful of chances at both ends, including a volley from Swansea striker Zan Vipotnik which found the net, but was disallowed – incorrectly – for offside. Arguably, this was the turning point / crucial moment in the entire game. Substitute Kyogo Furuhashi had a golden opportunity to put Birmingham in front after the break but saw his scuffed shot saved by Lawrence Vigouroux, who also repelled Demarai Gray. Blues cranked up the pressure in the closing stages and got their reward when Patrick Roberts' pinpoint cross was headed in by fellow substitute Dykes to send the St Andrew's crowd wild and make it 28 home league games without defeat. Victory moves Birmingham up to eighth in the early season Championship table, while the Swans’ first loss since the opening weekend of the season sends them down to eleventh. Later that same afternoon, Camiel Neghli's deft free-kick saw off Watford to secure Millwall's first home Championship win of the season at The Den. The Algeria Under-23 international lifted the ball over the wall and beyond Hornets keeper Egil Selvik, who later went off injured at half-time, to put the hosts in control. Millwall had a strong penalty shout for a foul on Macaulay Langstaff turned down before Lions keeper Steven Benda pulled off a sensational save to prevent Watford's Luca Kjerrumgaard equalising from point-blank range in the 90th minute. Alex Neil's side move into the top half of the table, up to 10th, while Watford sit 21st after a run of four Championship games without a win. The Swans have played Millwall on 60 occasions since the first match 104 years ago, with the overall results record pretty even: 24 - 23 in favour of the Swans, with 13 drawn matches. In last season’s corresponding fixture, Millwall scored a late winner to emerge 1-0 victors (the Swans conceding a late goal to, now where have I heard that before ….. ) Turning to Saturday, hopefully Alan Sheehan has had an opportunity on the training fields this week to get a better understanding of his new players and is closer to knowing his best team and best formations etc Hopefully, the players have learned the lessons of the last two Championship matches where 2 late goals have cost us 3pts in total. I’m going for a hard fought 2-1 home win - despite ex-Swan Steve Benda having a blinder in goal for Millwall.
Thanks Taff great pre match. So.....we still got a few probs at the back which will,I'm certain,be sorted as we go on. Having said that........3-2 Swans.
