Coventry City secured a 4-0 win over Plymouth in their last game. Tatsuhiro Sakamoto opened the scoring in the 5th minute before Josh Eccles got a brace in the 20th and 45th minute. Ephron Mason-Clark also scored a goal in the 39th minute of the game. They controlled the match with 65% possession of the ball and 19 goal attempts.
Frank Lampard’s men have won two of their last three games and remain unbeaten in their previous four games at home. They sit 15th on the table with 27 points in 23 games, scoring 32 goals and conceding 34. The Sky Blues will be without the service of Ben Wilson and Raphael Borges Rodrigues.
Millwall
LLLWL
Millwall suffered a 2-1 loss to Norwich in their last game. They had previously won 1-0 against Blackburn but have failed to get a back-to-back since early November. The Lions have now won just one of their last eight games and are winless in their previous four games on the road. They sit 13th on the table with 28 points in 22 games, scoring 22 goals and conceding 20.
Aidomo Emakhu joined the medical room after picking up a groin injury on Boxing Day against Norwich. Due to injuries, Dan McNamara (leg) and Jake Cooper (knee) are also out of this game.

Expert Betting Tips
Coventry City secured an impressive win over Plymouth in their last game, and it became apparent that their offence is becoming superb each game week. They are trusted in front of goal, and I believe they will secure a win in this game. However, the last match between the two sides at this venue ended 2-1, and I think both sides should find the back of the net easily in this game.
