Take a draw no bet on Cardiff
Coventry have won 12 games this season, and eight of those 12 wins were at home; Mark Robin's men have played 14 away games this season, and they've won just four of them. It's worth noting that Coventry won just two of their last 11 encounters with Cardiff, and those wins came at home; you'd have to go all the way back to 2004 in order to find the last time Cardiff lost at home to Coventry. Considering Cardiff have won three of their last four league games, we're leaning towards The Bluebirds; Cardiff should at least not lose this match.
Both sides will score
Only three teams have conceded more goals than Cardiff in the Championship this season; The Bluebirds have allowed at least one goal in 29 of their last 31 games across all competitions. Conversely, Cardiff have scored their fair share of goals; they've scored in all of their last six games. Similarly, Coventry have scored in seven of their last eight games, whilst conceding in six of their last seven games. It's worth noting that both teams scored in four of the last six clashes between these sides; considering both teams scored in four of Cardiff's last six, and five of Coventry's last seven games, both teams should score.

Cardiff vs Coventry: It's predicted lineup time
Cardiff fans might have been a tad nervous when they saw Reading leading Coventry on Saturday afternoon but the Sky Blues turning it around has eased relegation pressure. That could all be undone here though if Coventry find another three points.

Predicted lineup – Smithies, Bagan, McGuiness, Flint, Ng, Drameh, Ralls, Wintle, Doyle, Harris, Hugill.
