A great deal will depend on whether Coventry can keep Gary Rowett’s side out. The Sky Blues will be desperate to claim a vital point, and given Millwall have won just one of their last 11 games, Mark Robins may be hopeful.A draw seems the most likely result in this fixture.Prediction: Millwall 1-1 Coventry City
