Millwall vs Coventry City Prediction and Betting Tips | 7th December 2024

Millwall host Coventry City at the Den on Saturday for their clash in the EFL Championship, as both sides aim to end their long winless run in the competition. With 25 points from 17 matches, Millwall are in 10th position in the league table, but have drawn their last three games: a troika of 1-1 draws against Stoke City, Sunderland, and Oxford United.

Interestingly, the Lions had won their previous four in a row, which indicated their form has dissipated a bit in recent weeks, but they remain unbeaten in nine Championship fixtures.

Neil Harris' side will be eager to continue that run here and will be encouraged to see their next opponents have fared worse than them this season. Coventry have accrued seven points fewer than Millwall, and languish six places adrift of them in the standings.

They've won just four times out of 18 games, with head coach Mark Robins getting the sack on 7 November. Frank Lampard succeeded him as the next permanent manager last week, but saw his tenure get off to a 2-2 draw with Cardiff City, although the Sky Blues fought back from a deficit twice in the game.
