Our prediction for this Championship match:
Millwall
Match Time & Date:
02/01/2021
10:00 AM
Prediction: 1-0
Coventry
Millwall will be aiming to kick off 2021 in style when they welcome Coventry City at the Den on Matchday 23. The Lions were not in action in the previous two rounds due to an outbreak of coronavirus, meaning that tired legs are unlikely to prove to be a big problem for the capital club. On-loan attacker Kenneth Zohore should recover in time to face Coventry City, while Tyler Walker, Michael Rose, and Marko Marosi remain in the recovery room.
Gervane Kastaneer is rated doubtful for the game. The newcomers, on the other hand, failed to find the net in the previous four league fixtures. Coventry City obviously struggle in front of goal, and seeing that Millwall are eager to put an end to their seven-game winless run at home ground, we predict that the visitors are going to return to West Midlands empty-handed.
Highlighted Player (Jiri Skalak ):
After starting his professional career at Sparta Prague, Jiri Skalak played for the likes of Ruzemberok, Slovacko, Zbrojovka Brno and Mlada Boleslav on loan. In the summer of 2015 the Czech player signed a permanent deal with Mlada Boleslav where he established himself as a first-team regular.
However, the pacey winger did spend too much time at the Czech club as he joined English side Brighton in the winter of 2016. Jiri Skalak signed for the Seagulls for an undisclosed fee and it has to be noted that he score his first goal for the club in a 4-0 win over QPR on April 19, 2016. After spending two seasons at the Falmer Stadium, Jiri Skalak moved to fellow English club Millwall on August 2, 2018.
Born in Pardubice (Czechoslovakia) on March 12, 1992, Skalak represents Czech Republic on the international stage. The Millwall winger has 21 caps for the Czech Republic U21 team and he received his first call-up for the senior team on August 25, 2015 for the Euro 2016 qualifying matches against Latvia and Kazakhstan.
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.
