Coventry City vs Millwall
England Championship, KO: 12:00 Feb 11, 2024, The Coventry Building Society Arena
Coventry City continue their push for a promotion playoff place as they host Millwall in a Championship fixture on Saturday. The Sky Blues have been particularly impressive at home lately and should have the upper hand over Millwall, who are struggling to find their best form.
Coventry City head into Sunday’s clash in good form having lost just once in their last 14 matches across all competitions. Mark Robbins’ men are pushing for a promotion playoff finish and sit just one point off the top six.
The Sky Blues will be feeling particularly confident after claiming a 4-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday in an FA Cup fourth round replay on Tuesday. It was a solid way to bounce back following a 2-1 defeat at Norwich City in their previous Championship fixture.
The victory over Sheffield Wednesday highlights a solid home record for Coventry City, who are unbeaten in their last 10 matches in front of their fans. A 3-1 victory over Championship leaders Leicester City is among their results in that run, although they are without a clean sheet in their last five home matches.
In contrast to Coventry City, Millwall’s campaign appears to be unravelling at the moment as they are winless in their last five matches. They have suffered four defeats in that run and are now just five points above the relegation zone.
Millwall travel to Hull City off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Hull City last time out in the Championship. They struggled to create goalscoring opportunities and finished with just a single attempt on target throughout the contest.
That defeat extends a poor away record for Millwall, who have claimed just one win from their last seven matches on the road. Joe Edwards’ men have lost five times in that run, failing to score in three of the last four matches.
How the bookies view it
Coventry City have been installed as overwhelming favourites among the bookies with a home win priced at 4/5 by Coral. An unlikely victory for Millwall is valued at 15/4 by bet365, who is also offering odds of 14/5 for a draw.
Head to head
Millwall have a 14-11 advantage with five draws from 30 previous matches against Coventry City. However, Coventry have won the last two meetings and claimed a 3-0 victory in the reverse fixture back in November.
Players to watch
Haji Wright is the leading scorer for Coventry City with eight goals and will be the one to watch on Friday. The forward was also on target in the FA Cup win on Tuesday and is priced at 7/4 by Betfred to maintain his scoring run.
Millwall will be looking to take advantage of Coventry City’s defensive vulnerability and Kevin Nisbet could be worth keeping an eye on. The forward is looking to add to his five Championship goals and is priced at 10/3 by bet365 to find the net on Saturday.
Anything else catch the eye?
Coventry City saw over 3.5 goals in their midweek FA Cup replay and a repeat is priced at 14/5 with Paddy Power. Over 2.5 goals could also be considered at 21/20 with Coral while William Hill is offering odds of 10/11 on both teams to score.
The Sky Blues have scored in both halves in five of their last six home matches and a similar pattern is priced at 2/1 by bet365.
