It's no vacation for neither Coventry City nor Millwall as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Coventry City form and stats
Coventry City have collected 25 points from their Championship home games so far after 7-4-4.
The spoils were shared in Coventry City's previous game, also at home. Visiting Luton Town (placed 4th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline.
A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at West Bromwich Albion.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Coventry City have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 4 and lost 5.
Not much happening? In this club's last 15 league matches, 12 have produced zero, one or two goals.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Coventry as they are travelling to their away game against Rotherham United in the Championship. That match is four days after this one.
Coventry City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 15 games. Coventry City are not conceding a lot of goals here at The Coventry Building Society Arena in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 14 from 15 matches.
Millwall form and stats
The visitors are W4-D3-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Championship. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Millwall, as they have won on their previous two travels.
Millwall play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Queens Park Rangers (placed 14th). World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Rowett when Burke scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 68th minute. Cresswell was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.44. The defender Cresswell won 10 of 15 duels.
Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Sunderland.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Millwall in our archives, and the results are: 0 wins for Millwall, 7 draws and 7 defeats.
A quick return to home after this game, as Millwall are hosting Sheffield United in the Championship only four days away.
The attacking power of Millwall when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 14 league matches away. Millwall have conceded 19 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
Head 2 Head
These teams met each other earlier this season: Millwall - Coventry City 3-2. Last ten meetings between these sides: Coventry won four, Millwall triumphed in four and we saw two draws. five games with more than 2,5 goals, five matches with under 2,5 goals.
