Coventry City and Millwall kick-off matchday 25 of the EFL Championship when they square off at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Wednesday.

The visitors will head into the game aiming to get one over the hosts having failed to win any of the last three meetings between the sides.

Coventry City continue to struggle for form in the EFL Championship as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Huddersfield Town last time out.

Mark Robins’s side have now failed to taste victory in any of their last five outings, stretching back to early November’s thrilling 3-2 win over Bristol City.

With 34 points from 22 games, the Sky Blues are currently 10th on the log, but could rise into the playoff places with all three points on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Millwall failed to make it two wins from two last time out as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Peterborough United.

This followed an impressive 3-1 win over Birmingham City which saw their run of four games without a victory come to an end.

With 30 points from 22 games, the Lions are currently 12th on the log, two points and two paces behind Wednesday’s hosts.
