Millwall Preview – Lions to make home advantage count?

Millwall started their season with an impressive win over Stoke City, which took them to the top of the Championship table. Defender Charlie Cresswell was the hero, netting both goals for the Lions.

However, Millwall followed that up a few days later with a disappointing EFL Cup defeat to EFL League One side Cambridge United. Gary Rowett’s boys then returned to Championship action with a 2-0 loss to Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

Our betting prediction:
Viktor Gyokeres to score first
11/2

(odds taken 1131 GMT, Friday 12 August)

 
Millwall are never an easy nut to crack at The Den, and Rowett will want the right reaction from his players after losing the last two and failing to score. Can the London side get back to winning ways own their own patch?

Coventry City Preview – Can the Sky Blues bounce back from big cup loss?

Coventry City kicked off their Championship campaign with a hard-fought draw with Sunderland. Last season’s League One play-off winners took an early lead, but Viktor Gyokeres levelled late on.

Coventry’s Championship game with Rotherham United was called off last week due to an unsafe playing surface at the Coventry Building Society Arena. Their cup tie with Bristol City in midweek was moved to Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium as a result. City could have done with that one being postponed too, as they fell to a heavy 4-1 defeat to the Robins.
