Our prediction for this Championship match:
Millwall will be aiming to extend their unbeaten run to ten games when they face Coventry City on Saturday afternoon. The Lions have drawn each of their last three league matches, but it seems as if their performances are much better than the results. The capital club aim to move closer to the playoffs berth and they are surely capable of matching Coventry in front of home fans. Ryan Leonard is banned for the match, while both Jake Cooper and Calum Scanlon are out of contention with injuries.
The Sky Blues, on the other hand, failed to win the previous five league matches and given Millwall’s fine form in the English second tier, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. It has to be noted that all Wilson, Wright, and Borges Rodrigues are sidelines with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Millwall):
Based in Bermonsdey, South East London, Millwall are a football club whose supporters have often been associated with hooliganism. West Ham United are considered the club’s biggest rivals and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two teams.
The Lions share rivalry with Charlton as well and the two teams first met back in 1921. The Den is Milwall’s home ground at the capacity of the stadium, which was opened in 1993, is 20.146.
The capital club did well to make it to the 2003/2004 FA Cup final, but Premier League giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Lions. The Red Devils won the game 3-0, but despite suffering the heavy loss in the title game, Milwall booked their place in the UEFA Cup. However, Ferencvaros of Hungary proved to be a big catch for the English outfit in the two-legged tie.
Australia international Tim Cahill is considered one of the most notable footballers who whore Millwall shirt (1998-2004).
