Prediction
After their dominant win over Sheffield Wednesday in midweek with a ruthless second-half display, Coventry certainly seem to have responded strongly to having seen their 10-match unbeaten league run ended at Norwich last weekend.
Mark Robins’ Sky Blues though are still leaky at the back which Norwich exploited clinically in that last league game, although Sheffield Wednesdy did punish a slow reaction to a loose ball which should give Millwall confidence that they can get at least one goal.
Joe Edwards’ Lions however need to sort out their own defensive issues because they are capable of better results, especially if can get their own attack firing because the likes of Zian Flemming, Tom Bradshaw and Kevin Nisbet should be delivering more than they’ve done this season.
I however can’t see Coventry losing this such is their attacking quality and momentum, although Millwall could pose some difficulties if can defensively keep players like Callum O’Hare and Haji Wright quiet.
Prediction: Coventry 2-1 Millwall
Result: Coventry 2-1 Millwall
