Coventry City Preview – Can the Sky Blues record a tenth home win?
Coventry City’s ultimate goal this season was ensuring Championship survival. The Sky Blues have passed that test with flying colours in the end despite having one or two wobbly moments along the way. Coventry head into the final weekend 11 points clear of the drop zone.
Mark Robins’ men made sure of survival with three impressive wins on the bounce last month, beating Rotherham United, Barnsley and Stoke City. City have won four of their last seven, drawing 1-1 with Huddersfield Town at the John Smith’s Stadium last time out.
Coventry have been solid in their temporary home this season, winning nine times. They move back to the Ricoh Arena for the start of the 2021-22 season, but can the Sky Blues end their time at St Andrew’s Trillion Trophy Stadium with a tenth home victory of the campaign?
Millwall Preview – Will the Lions end with a positive result on the road?
Millwall’s promotion dreams were ended weeks ago, but the Lions have had another solid season in the second tier, keeping themselves well clear of the bottom three. No matter what happens on the final weekend, Gary Rowett’s side will finish in the top half of the Championship table.
Millwall have won 15, drawn 17 and lost 13 of their 45 games. Only five teams have suffered fewer defeats, while the Lions have drawn the most games in the division. They have a zero goal difference after scoring 46 and conceding 46.
