Millwall v Coventry

Millwall vs Coventry Preview

Millwall climbed up into 15th place in the Championship standings following their comprehensive 4-0 rout of Sheffield Wednesday away from home at Hillsborough prior to the international break and now The Lions return to The Den where they'll welcome Coventry City in a bid to post back-to-back wins for the first time this season, while Coventry City will make a bid to halt a disappointing and worrying six-match winless run in the English second tier.

Millwall had experienced their own slump in recent weeks in the Championship as the London club has struggled for results as they failed to win any of their preceding five games which consisted of three draws and two defeats; points picked up in draws with Hull City, Preston NE and Watford were overshadowed by losses incurred against Blackburn Rovers and Southampton, but their comprehensive win last time out will give the hosts hope here.

Success has been sporadic this season for Millwall who have managed to capture just five wins to date and they have been unable to put together any sort of meaningful unbeaten run so far, but the hosts have a decent chance of recording another victory against a poor Coventry outfit.

Coventry City are experiencing a season of polar opposites so far in this Championship campaign as last season's play-off finalists now find themselves sitting in a lowly and disappointing 20th place in the Championship table prior to this upcoming trip to the nation's capital.

Despite continuing to be a tough team to break down on home soil at their CBS Stadium, suffering just one defeat in their eight home games and picking up two wins and five draws, the Sky Blues have struggled on their travels this term which has contributed to their disappointing start to this campaign.

Coventry have managed to capture just one win on the road so far this season which came in the form of a 3-1 win away from home at QPR towards the end of September, but that win along with a home win against Blackburn Rovers have been Coventry City's only successes in their past 14 league matches overall.

Form on the road has been a long way off last season's though as Coventry have registered just one win from their last eight outings on their travels and having been dealt five defeats in the process at the likes of Leicester City, Cardiff City, Bristol City, Rotherham United and Preston NE.

Goals could be in short supply though as seven of Coventry City's last 10 matches overall have resulted in Under 2.5 goals being scored.
