First Prediction For Millwall vs Coventry City – Double Chance – Coventry City Or Draw – 4/9
Millwall came agonisingly close to breaking into the play-offs last season and look like they will be there or thereabouts this term. They currently sit just above mid table in 11th but are just one point off the top six. The Lions are on a three-game unbeaten run and picked up an admirable point on Saturday against Swansea City in South Wales. However, it’s their home form that has let them down a little during the early stages of the campaign. Their 1-0 win over Watford earlier this month was their only victory in front of their own supporters this season. Prior to that, Alex Neil’s side had tasted defeat in both their home outings, losing 3-0 to Middlesbrough and 2-0 to Wrexham.
As a result, Coventry City will fancy their chances in their visit to the capital. The Sky Blues are one of just two teams in the EFL to remain unbeaten thus far alongside Championship leaders Middlesbrough. An emphatic 3-0 win over Birmingham City on Saturday lifted them up to second in the table, albeit four points off the current pacesetters. Frank Lampard’s team have drawn their last two on the road and could do the same here. Although Millwall are in good form, Coventry have shown themselves to be somewhat unbeatable this season and are worth backing in the double chance market.
Second Prediction For Millwall vs Coventry City – Both Teams To Score – No – 11/10
Millwall have scored one goal in each of their last three games, winning one and drawing two in the process. However, they have struggled to find the net at The Den, scoring just once in three outings. They failed to score in defeats against Middlesbrough and Wrexham, whilst Alex Neil’s team are also averaging less than one goal a game. Furthermore, four of their seven league fixtures so far this season have achieved this outcome.
Coventry may be the highest scorers in the Championship but they do have two 0-0 draws to their name already. The last of those came in their last fixture away from the CBS Arena when they were held by fellow promotion candidates Leicester City. They also kept a clean sheet in Saturday’s 3-0 win over Birmingham City. This is a game which could be settled by the odd goal.
Third Prediction For Millwall vs Coventry City – Under 2.5 Goals – 17/20
Millwall have been involved in low scoring games for pretty much the majority of the season. There were three goals in each of their first two league games, but the following five have all seen under that marker. This extends further to their Carabao Cup exploits, where they beat Newport County 1-0 in the first round and drew 1-1 in the third round with Crystal Palace before losing on penalties. Interestingly though, their second round tie finished 2-1, with Coventry the opponents.
The Sky Blues have been involved in the division’s highest scoring games this season, beating Queens Park Rangers 7-1 and Derby County 5-3. However, two of their last three have been relatively low scoring affairs, drawing 1-1 with Norwich City and 0-0 with Leicester City. They also have another 0-0 to their names, which came on the opening day against Hull City. Millwall with be a tough nut to crack, having scored six and conceded eight in the seven league outings thus far.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head:
It’s been a steady start to the season for Millwall. They currently sit 11th in the Championship and are just one point off the play-off places. The Lions began their campaign with an impressive 2-1 victory at Norwich City but were brought back down to Earth with a bang the following week with a 3-0 home defeat against Middlesbrough. A narrow 1-0 win at Sheffield United followed before a second successive home reverse, this time going down 2-0 to Wrexham. Alex Neil’s team have since embarked on a three-game unbeaten run, with two 1-1 draws against Charlton Athletic and Swansea City sandwiching a 1-0 triumph over Watford.
Coventry have been remarkable under Frank Lampard and have continued their strong form into this season. They are one of just two teams in the EFL alongside Middlesbrough to remain unbeaten so far and will be looking to extend that at The Den on Wednesday night. The Sky Blues began with a underwhelming 0-0 draw with Hull City at the CBS Arena on the opening day. However, they sprung into life the following weekend with a thumping 7-1 win over Queens Park Rangers. Another high scoring affair followed, this time over Lampard’s former team Derby County with a 5-3 victory at Pride Park. Three successive draws followed against Oxford United (2-2), Norwich City (1-1) and Leicester City (0-0). They enter this game having returned to winning ways after a 3-0 triumph over 10-men Birmingham City on Saturday. As a result, they sit second in the table and four points behind leaders Middlesbrough.
This is the second time this season that the two teams have met at The Den. Millwall emerged with a 2-1 win in the Carabao Cup second round in August, the first time they had beaten the Sky Blues in six attempts. A 0-0 draw in December 2024 at the CBS Arena last season ended a run of four successive victories in this fixture for Coventry. The Lions’ last league win over the West Midlanders came in August 2022, where they secured a 3-2 triumph. Overall, Coventry edge the head to head record with 35 wins to Millwall’s 33. In 84 previous clashes, 16 have ended in a draw.
