Our prediction for this Championship match:
After rolling over Plymouth 4-0 on Boxing Day, Coventry City will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Millwall in the Championship round 24. The Sky Blues aim to revive their playoffs hopes and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Lions. Josh Eccles should keep his place in the starting XI after scoring a brace and recording an assist against the Pilgrims, while fellow midfielder Victor Torp is pushing for a recall.
The capital club, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Norwich City at Carrow Road. As Millwall are not regarded as good travellers, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Sunday’s showdown. The likes of Coburn, Cooper, McNamara, and Scanlon are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Coventry):
Nicknamed the Sky Blues, Coventry City are an English football club that compete in the League One. Coventry City, who were founded on August 13, 1883 as Singers FC, wear sky blue kit when playing on home soil, whilst their away colour is white.
Aston Villa and Leicester City are considered the club’s main rivals, but they have rivalry with fellow West Midlands clubs Wallsall and Burton Albion as well. Coventry City have yet to win the Premier League trophy, but they did well to go all the way in the FA Cup in the 1986/1987 season, with the team beat Charlton Athletic in the two-legged final. They share stadium with Birmingham City, with both clubs playing their home games at St. Andrew’s Stadium.
Built in December, 1906, St. Andrew’s Stadium can hold up to 29,409 spectators. Dion Dublin is one of the most famous Coventry City players, with the legendary centre-forward scoring 61 goals in 145 appearances for the club in the league.
