Millwall vs Coventry City: Key Stats Revealed

Millwall is set to host Coventry City on Wednesday evening at 19:45 BST. The home team currently ranks 10th in the Championship and has remained unbeaten in league matches since late August.

Recent Performances

Coventry City, managed by Frank Lampard, is coming off a strong 3-0 win against Birmingham City. However, they will be missing Jack Rudoni due to injury for the next few weeks.

Earlier this season, Millwall faced Coventry in the League Cup, securing a 2-1 victory. Despite this win, Millwall has struggled against Coventry in the league, remaining winless in their last five encounters (1 draw, 4 losses). This is their longest run without a win against Coventry since April 1964, when they failed to win six straight matches against them.

Historical Context

Coventry City has achieved success in their recent visits to Millwall, winning in both of the past two league seasons. This marks the first time they have secured consecutive away league victories at Millwall.

  • Millwall’s record at home has shown improvement, winning six of their last eight Championship matches.
  • Prior to this run, they had a mixed record, winning six, drawing four, and losing six of their previous 16 home games.

Upcoming Challenges

Coventry aims to avoid defeat in their opening four away matches of a league season in the top two tiers for the sixth time. The last instance of this occurring was in the 1993-94 Premier League season.

Millwall’s manager, Alex Neil, holds a solid record against Coventry, having lost only once in five Championship matches (2 wins, 2 draws). His only defeat came during his time with Stoke City in October 2022, when his team lost 0-2.

This encounter promises to be an exciting clash as both teams strive for crucial points in the Championship.
