Millwall vs Wrexham: Lions aim to keep perfect start
Millwall welcome Wrexham to The Den on Wednesday evening in the fourth round of the Championship season. The Lions have made a flawless start to the campaign with two league wins and no goals conceded, while Wrexham are still searching for their first victory after an eventful 1‑1 draw at home to Watford. Kick‑off is at 7:45pm, live on Sky Sports+.
Millwall’s Impenetrable Start: Two Wins, None Conceded
Millwall have taken maximum points from their opening two fixtures without their goalkeeper picking the ball out of the net. Last Saturday they dismantled Norwich City 3‑0 at The Den, a performance that underlined the solidity that has become their early‑season trademark. Together with a narrow 2‑0 win on the opening weekend, the Lions have scored five unanswered goals and sit top of the early Championship standings. The defensive organisation that nullified Norwich will be tested again by a Wrexham side that peppered the Watford goal with shots.
Wrexham’s Near Misses: Creativity Without Reward
Phil Parkinson’s side kicked off their Championship return with a frantic 1‑1 draw against Watford. The numbers tell the story: no team on matchday one attempted more shots on target than Wrexham (seven), and the woodwork was struck three times – their most in a league fixture since February 2024. Despite that barrage, they had to settle for a point, leaving them in the bottom half of the table. Wrexham will need to find a cutting edge at The Den if they are to turn lively approach play into a tangible result.
Key Battle: Wrexham’s Shot‑Heavy Attack vs Millwall’s Wall
Wrexham’s willingness to shoot from all angles presents a direct contrast to a Millwall defence that has yet to concede. Parkinson’s men created seven on‑target efforts against Watford and constantly looked to test the goalkeeper from distance. Millwall, by contrast, have allowed very little through two games, often forcing opponents into low‑per‑centage finishes. The battle between Wrexham’s off‑the‑cuff attacking intent and Millwall’s disciplined back line could decide whether the visitors finally get off the mark.
