Swansea concede two own-goals in injury time to capitulate again (WalesOnline)

Swansea threw away a two-goal lead at the Swansea.com Stadium in disappointing fashion.

Billy Mitchell does really well to win a corner for the visitors. Darling turned Danny McNamara’s cross into his own net in the second minute of injury time to set up a tense finish. But the Swans remained relatively comfortable and continued to cause problems themselves - with Joel Piroe firing well wide after a fine run up the pitch by Ntcham. It was a fine strike from the forward who will have been thrilled to bulge the net himself after unselfishly teeing up Ntcham at Blackpool three days earlier. The tempo slowed later on in the first-half, although Martin will no doubt have been hugely pleased with so much from his side's efforts as the Swans led 2-0 at the break. Corner to Millwall. The energy and confidence was flowing through the Swansea ranks, although they survived a real scare as Jamie Shackleton's pile-driver rattled Andy Fisher's crossbar on nine minutes. The hosts made a dream start as they went ahead inside a minute. And they should have gone two goals up with just four minutes on the clock when Bialkowski palmed Ntcham's rifled effort into the path of Joel Latibeaudiere who could only poke over from close range. The end of a fine half from the Swans who lead 2-0 thanks to goals from Manning and Obafemi. Russell Martin made three changes following Saturday's 1-0 win at Blackpool, with Joe Allen earning his first start since re-joining the club in the summer. Mitchell (Voglsammer 75), Shackleton (Saville 64), Malone; Honeyman; Burey, Afobe.

Talking Tactics | Swansea City v Millwall | Swansea (Swansea City)

Football stats experts WhoScored.com preview this evening's Championship fixture between Swansea City and Millwall, and take a look at the recent form of ...

Swansea come into the meeting tonight unbeaten in five against Millwall, winning three in that run. Three of the five goals they have scored this season have been by centre-backs and they need their frontmen to start chipping in with the goods. As such, the [WhoScored.com](https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fWhoScored.com&c=E,1,1TwgzTBos57JHOw0EH18sWV1-t5zpuTSnBn-IlMkiLy4apnCBzj8jkaeXsipV4om7Lm_mA5gWZ8tGD-TmL3qmA2zXv5LUBp1LxG9z4ZdMmhoctg3Cz2KZnFo8g,,&typo=1&ancr_add=1) match forecast suggests that it is likely Millwall will 'create scoring chances' and don't be surprised if the bulk of those come through Honeyman's ingenuity. In addition, 'shot stopping' is another strength of his, so Fisher will be looking to keep his good form going at Millwall's expense. The 24-year-old made four saves against the Tangerines, including a Jerry Yates penalty stop shortly after the restart, reinforcing a WhoScored.con strength of 'penalty saving'. Following the departure of Jed Wallace for for West Brom, there was ample pressure on Honeyman to shoulder the creative responsibility and he has done so well, creating seven goalscoring chances in his two appearances, more than any other Millwall player. Andy Fisher comes into tonight's game with the wind in his sails. Afobe has managed just four shots across three scoreless league appearances, but he is a key focal point and proven Championship goalscorer. However, on the road so far, they have lost both matches, falling to Cambridge in the Carabao Cup before succumbing to a 2-0 defeat at Sheffield United. Rowett will want to shake his side out of this current away day funk to help them launch another sustained push for a play-off finish. Attention now turns to the welcome of Millwall tonight with Like a number of Championship teams, Gary Rowett likes to set his Millwall side up in a three-man backline.

REPORT: Swansea City 2-2 Millwall - newsatden.co.uk (News At Den)

The Lions were 1-0 down inside the opening minute of the game as an unmarked Ryan Manning was afforded too much space down the left, allowing him to fire a shot ...

In pure pandemonium, the entirety of Millwall’s coaching staff and subs ran onto the pitch, with the Lions having snatched a stunning point from the jaws of defeat. It looked like the Lions were dead and buried as the board was lifted up for five minutes of stoppage time. The Lions looked dead and buried as the clock ticked into stoppage time. It looked like they would run out of time, with the Swans keeping them at bay until the very end of the match. Scott Malone was booked for protesting, and the visitors were unable to capitalise from the resulting set piece. Three minutes later, the Lions would find themselves 2-0 down for the third time in a week and a half. Swansea pushed forward as soon as they gained possession of the ball at the start of the game. Unfortunately for the visitors, that would be the closest that they would come during their extended spell on the ball. Latibeaudiere had to be stretchered off after Murray Wallace shoved him into the advertising board, a move which didn’t even see the hosts win a free-kick. Tyler Burey threatened down the left, but his effort was blocked and bobbled over to Benik Afobe. He too was forced to turn it into his own net, securing a stunning stoppage-time comeback in South Wales. Millwall began to look more comfortable, but failed to really threaten throughout the game.

David Prutton makes prediction ahead of Swansea City vs Millwall (Football League World)

The contrast of styles makes this an interesting match-up and whilst the hosts are sure to dominate possession, it will be interesting to see how they cope with the physicality and direct style of the Lions. Therefore, many will see this as a close game between two sides with very different styles, and Sky Sports pundit Prutton has gone for a 1-1 draw between the two in his regular prediction column. Both will be hoping to be in the mix for the play-off places come May and they have had decent starts, with the Swans collecting four points from their opening three games, whilst the Lions have six.
