Tactical Insights & Match Dynamics

Millwall’s 4-3-3, under Neil Harris, relies on Flemming’s creativity and Watmore’s pace, with Jake Cooper anchoring defense, averaging 48% possession and 3.2 shots on target per game. Without Saville, they’ll lean on George Honeyman, targeting Coventry’s 1.67 conceded away, with their 0.67 conceded at home a strength. Coventry’s 4-2-3-1, led by Mark Robins, uses Wright’s finishing and Rudoni’s drive, averaging 52% possession and 4.0 shots on target. With Allen injured, they’ll counter, exploiting Millwall’s high line, but their 1.67 conceded away is a concern. The Den’s 18,162 fans will amplify Millwall’s intensity. Web buzz favors a draw at 3.20 odds, with BTTS at 1.65, citing H2H draws and both teams’ form.
