Coventry vs Millwall Predictions

• Only Derby drawn more league games than Millwall this term.
• 32% of Coventry’s league games ended level this season.
• Eight of Millwall’s nine Championship draws this season ended 1-1.

Comeback kings Coventry remain sturdy

A run of four draws from Coventry’s last five league games has seriously damaged their promotion hopes, though they did show character by overturning 1-0 half-time deficits to avoid defeat in their last two drawn games.

As a result of those comebacks, Coventry now boast a league-high 15 points from losing positions (W4, D3, L6), which makes for an astonishing 54% unbeaten rate when falling behind. Consequently, the Sky Blues won’t start sweating should they fall behind here.

Middling Millwall to play out yet another stalemate

There aren’t many sides in the Championship who scream ‘1-1 draw’ the way Millwall do. A run of three games without a stalemate is uncharacteristic of the Lions as each of their three games prior ended with a 1-1 scoreline.

The fact that Millwall are outsiders for this clash hints towards this game ending level, as six of their nine league draws this season came in games when priced up as pre-match outsiders (W2, D6, L4).

Much like their hosts, Millwall often came from behind to avoid defeat this season, evidenced by their 38% draw rate when falling behind (W2, D5, L6). If it wasn’t already clear, I predict a 1-1 stalemate between two sides seeking consistency.
