How to Watch Coventry City vs Rotherham United in the UK:

UK viewers will be able to watch the game via the Red Button on Sky Sports Football. Kick off is at 7:45pm.

Recent Form:

Coventry:

Coventry will take confidence from their FA cup 5-0 win against non-league Maidstone United and will look to turn the confidence from a cup run into results in the league as they look to push on towards the Play-off spots. The hosts will be desperate to return to winning ways after a 2-1 loss to West Brom and a 3-0 loss to Preston.

The Sky Blues currently sit ninth, two points behind eighth-placed Preston Town, and five points from the play-off spots.

Rotherham:

Rotherham have lost their last seven league games and haven’t recorded a victory since Boxing Day when they beat Middlesbrough 1-0 at home. However, despite poor results, Rotherham haven’t struggled in front of goal, scoring four in their last three games after losing 4-3 against Ipswich, 2-1 against QPR and 1-0 against Sheffield Wednesday. Letting goals in have been Rotherham's problem, having conceded 67 in 35 league games so far.

The Millers are rock bottom of the SkyBet Championship and a dismal 19 points from safety.

Team News:

Coventry will still be without Tatsuhiro Sakamoto and Jamie Allen. Ben Sheaf is unlikely to feature.

Betting Odds:

Coventry predictably enter as favourites, with William Hill offering them at 1/3 to maintain their play-off push (an implied probability of 75%). The away side enter as heavy 9/1 underdogs with BetVictor, carrying an implied probability of just 10%.

The draw comes in at 9/2 with bet365 (an implied probability of 18.18%).

Prediction:

OddsNow back the home side to avenge their loss in the reverse fixture to further compound Rotherham's woes.
