Coventry City vs Millwall Prediction and Betting Tips | December 29th 2024

Coventry City and Millwall are in action for the last time in 2024 when they go head-to-head at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Sunday. Having lost the last four meetings between the teams, the Lions will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts and close out the year on a high.

Coventry City turned in a performance of the highest quality as they cruised to a 4-0 victory over Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth Argyle at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Boxing Day.

Frank Lampard’s side have gone four consecutive games without defeat on home turf, claiming two wins and two draws since a 2-1 loss against Derby County on November 6.

With 27 points from 23 matches, Coventry City are currently 15th in the EFL Championship standings, one point and two places behind this weekend’s visitors.

On the other hand, Millwall were denied a cheerful Boxing Day as they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Norwich City at the Carrow Road Stadium. Before that, the Lions snapped their six-game winless run on December 21 when they held on to see out a 1-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers at the Den.

While Millwall will be looking to end the year on a winning note, they have struggled for results away from home, where they are on a run of just one win from their 10 league matches this season.
