Coventry City
- Coventry City are the pace-setters in this Championship season with 52 points from 26 games, nine more than Millwall in fifth place from 26.
- Coventry City have won nine, drawn two and lost just one of their 12 home Championship matches.
- But the Sky Blues have stumbled a bit in their last three games, losing to Ipswich Town and Birmingham City and being held to a draw by Charlton Athletic.
Millwall
- Millwall have failed to win either of their last two trips to Coventry City.
- Millwall are unbeaten in two with a draw at Southampton and victory over Swansea City at home.
- The visitors’ away form is a bit shaky, winning four, drawing five and losing three of their 12 away Championship fixtures.
Key Players
- Brandon Thomas-Asante has scored ten goals in 17 Championship appearances this season.
- Azeez leads Millwall’s scoring charts with six goals in 15 Championship matches and is always a danger in front of goal.
- Frank Lampard’s pragmatism and tactical awareness have served the Sky Blues well since he took over in November 2024 and, with 9 goals conceded in 12 home Championship games, they are solid at the back.
Head-to-Head
Millwall’s recent record against City is quite good with the Lions claiming a 2-1 home win in the EFL Cup four months ago.
Betting Insights
- The 5.3 on the visitors seems a little short considering Coventry are the outright favourites at 1.62.
- Suggested market: Over 2.5 goals at 1.83.
Prediction
With home-field advantage and better attacking options than the Lions, City should edge this one out, but Millwall’s physical play could keep it close.
