Millwall will host Coventry City at the Den on Wednesday in another round of the 2025-26 EFL Championship campaign. The hosts will be hoping to build momentum from their recent form and push higher up the league table.
Millwall made it three league games without defeat with a 1-1 draw against Swansea City last time out to move up to 10th place in the league table. Alex Neil’s side, who have three wins and two draws from their opening seven games this season, finished three points shy of promotion playoffs last season and will be looking to take their performance a step further to gain a top-six finish this time around.
Coventry City narrowly missed out on promotion last season after getting eliminated in the playoff semifinals but have begun the new season in very promising fashion. The Sky Blues picked up a third win of the season by thrashing 10-man Birmingham City 3-0 during the weekend to extend their unbeaten run in the league to seven games and will be confident to continue such form this midweek.
