BETTING ODDS
The safer betting option for Coventry City's Championship fixture at Millwall tomorrow night looks to be on a high scoring encounter.
Millwall have managed just one clean sheet in their last eight fixtures with their last clean sheet on home soil coming way back in mid-September.
Coventry haven’t managed many shut outs themselves and none at all away from the Ricoh Arena so both teams scoring looks a likely outcome.
The last three head to heads have seen three or more goals scored and so odds of 10/9 with 188Bet on that trend continuing looks a solid bet.
The Sky Blues are on the road again in midweek hoping for a positive result at Millwall in an attempt to follow up the hard fought 1-1 draw at the Keepmoat Stadium.
Unsurprisingly the hosts go into the match as 4/5 favourites with Boylesports and Stan James after going five games unbeaten, a run of results which includes wins over Portsmouth and Leicester in their last two outings.
But Andy Thorn’s side can take solace in their rock solid record against the Lions in recent years, with the 2-1 win back in April (a best price 16/1 this time around) making it just one defeat in six matches against Tuesday’s opponents and you can get betting odds of 9/2 on a City win in this fixture.
