Millwall sit fourth and are nine points behind Coventry in the table
Recommended bet: Millwall Double Chance
Coventry will look to maintain their six-point cushion at the top of the Championship table when they host Millwall on Tuesday night.
Frank Lampard's side look destined for the Premier League at this stage of the season, with Middlesbrough their closest challengers on 49 points.
Millwall have play-off aspirations of their own, though, and they will hope to move to within six points of their hosts with a win in midweek.

Prediction
Coventry's home record has been such an ally for them in their quest for promotion, but their recent run of one win in five suggests they are just struggling for momentum.
That can happen to a team after a busy period and Millwall look good value for at least a point.
While the Lions have only won one of their last five on the road, they have lost three times away from home in the second tier.
They have gained 20 points from 13 games and they are capable of digging in and making life difficult for the Sky Blues.
Coventry have scored one goal or fewer in three of their last four at home, so the visitors will feel that they can spring a surprise in a game that could go a long way to deciding the final play-off spots come May.
