Cardiff City vs Coventry City Prediction: Coventry will avoid a loss

Coventry City hope to continue their unbeaten run when they travel to the Cardiff City Stadium on Wednesday to face Cardiff City. Frank Lampard’s side are unbeaten in their last two games. Can they continue this run? Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City recorded a 2-1 win over Watford in their last game. They only managed 28% possession of the ball throughout the game, but they were brilliant anytime they had the ball, leading to 9 shots, of which three were on target. They also made sure Watford were limited to just one shot on goal. Callum Robinson was once again the hero in the game, opening the scoring in the first minute before scoring the winner in the 42nd minute. He has now scored three goals in his last two games.

The Bluebirds ended their winless run in the game after they had gone nine games without a win. However, they have lost their last four games in front of their home fans. They sit 22nd on the table with 21 points in 23 games, scoring 23 goals and conceding 38. Meanwhile, Chris Willock could miss this game after picking up a knock in their last match against Watford. Aaron Ramsey will sit out due to a muscle injury, while David Turnbull is ruled out due to a hamstring strain.

Coventry City

Coventry City were held to a goalless draw in their last game against Millwall. Frank Lampard’s side controlled the game with 75% possession of the ball but could not damage their opponent’s defence. They remain unbeaten in three of their last four games but have lost their last two on the road. The Sky Blues sit 15th on the table with 28 points in 24 games, scoring 32 goals and conceding 24. Meanwhile, Haji Wright will miss this game due to a leg injury.

Possible Starting 11

Cardiff City — Jak Alnwick, Joel Bagan, Dimitrios Goutas, Calum Chambers, Andy Rinomhota, Manolis Siopis, Alexander Robertson, Callum O'Dowda, Rubin Colwill, Yakou Méïté, Anwar El Ghazi.

Coventry City — Oliver Dovin, Milan van Ewijk, Bobby Thomas, Joel Latibeaudiere, Jake Bidwell, Josh Eccles, Ben Sheaf, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Jack Rudoni, Ephron Mason-Clark, Norman Bassette.

Interesting Facts

• Coventry have failed to score in just two of their last 10 meetings against the Bluebirds.
• Cardiff have the second-worst offensive record in the league, with 23 goals scored in 23 matches.
• Coventry have scored 32 league goals this season; only 5 teams have scored more.

Expert Betting Tips

Under Frank Lampard's guidance, Coventry relied more on their attack to get points. Despite failing to score in their last game, they are among the best-attacking teams in the Championship. With this, I expect them to get at least a point from this game. However, despite the poor offensive form of Cardiff, they should also find a consolation goal here.
