Wednesday night under the lights at The Den – and this one feels tasty. Millwall, stubborn and gritty at home, take on Coventry, who’ve been rattling in goals for fun. It’s defence vs attack, and you can almost feel the clash of styles already.

So, who’s coming out on top? Let’s dive in.

Millwall vs Coventry Team News

Millwall boss Neil Harris has a mostly fit squad, but the big issue is still goals. Josh Coburn netted against Swansea, and he’ll likely lead the line again. Derek Mazou-Sacko and Aidomo Emakhu will try to provide the spark, while Massimo Luongo and Will Smallbone sit in the middle to keep things steady. Defensively, Jake Cooper anchors them well – he’s the type you’d want in a midweek scrap.

Coventry manager Frank Lampard, meanwhile, has a couple of injuries to juggle. Joel Latibeaudiere (knee) and Oliver Dovin (ACL) are ruled out. The good news? Brandon Thomas-Asante is in red-hot form, Victor Torp is chipping in from midfield, and Haji Wright brings that physical presence up top. Expect Jay Dasilva and Milan van Ewijk to provide plenty of width.

Likely Lineups

Millwall: Benda; Leonard, Crama, Cooper, Bryan; Mazou-Sacko, Luongo, Smallbone, Ballo; Emakhu; Coburn.

Coventry: Rushworth; van Ewijk, Thomas, Kitching, Dasilva; Grimes, Torp; Sakamoto, Eccles, Thomas-Asante; Wright.

Betting Tips: Millwall vs Coventry

This game has goals written all over it. Coventry just don’t do dull – they’ve scored 18 in seven games already, and their matches average over 4 goals per game. Millwall are harder to break down, but they’ve also conceded in most of their recent outings.

Some angles worth a look:

• Both Teams to Score – Yes: Four of the last five head-to-heads saw it land.
• Over 2.5 Goals: Coventry’s record almost demands it.
• Draw No Bet Coventry: If you fancy safety but still back their attack.

What do you think – brave enough to call a Millwall upset, or siding with the Sky Blues’ firepower?

Millwall vs Coventry Match Prediction

Millwall will sit compact, try to frustrate, and rely on the crowd to lift them. They’ll look for Coburn to nick something. But Coventry have too many weapons going forward to be kept quiet all night.

I see Millwall getting on the scoresheet – probably through a set piece – but Coventry edging it late on.

Match Prediction: Coventry to win. Bet with bet365.
