To round off the Championship action this weekend, we have one game taking place on Sunday, and it's a game that will impact the playoff race, which Coventry are a part of, and the relegation battle, which Millwall are on the cusp of.
Coventry City Form GuideIt's been a wonderful turnaround for Coventry, who started slowly due to their playoff defeat last season, and losing some key names over the summer. But now they're on track, though the job is not done, the playoffs are their aim. They begin the weekend one point outside, but everyone else will play before that, so are likely to be further back than that, by the time this game kicks off on Sunday.
On top of that, Coventry come here on the back of a defeat, as they lost 2-1 away at Norwich last weekend. They have been in cup action since then, beating Sheffield Wednesday 4-1 to get back on track. They've recorded some big wins recently, most notably a 3-1 home win over league leaders Leicester.
Millwall Form GuideSmall pieces of form have seen Millwall gradually move away from the relegation zone, but they're still on the edge of the battle. With 33 points, they begin the weekend in 16th, five clear of QPR in 22nd, but that position could be worse by the time they play here, depending on other results.
It was defeat last weekend for Millwall as they lost 1-0 away at Hull, a team in the playoff battle with Coventry. Before that, they picked up a point at home, drawing 1-1 with Preston to get another point on the board.
Match PredictionA big game to end the weekend's action on Sunday, and one where I am backing Coventry to come out on top. Playoff chasing, they've taken some big steps forward over the past couple of months, I'm taking them to get another three points on the board here.
