Cardiff City - Coventry City predictions

Though Cardiff City definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Coventry City are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

Coventry will need to bring their top form if they want 3 points from this matchup – and they do. Cardiff are not easy pickings, although the visitors are widely seen as close favourites.

Cardiff pulled the biggest surprise in the last round of the Championship. Although they faced a difficult away challenge, Cardiff City got ahead early in the game and managed to keep their rivals at bay for the full 90 minutes in what ended up being a huge Watford victory.

The away team hit an impasse last round in their matchup against Millwall, failing to take the victory as most Championship betting predictions expected they would. Besides the fact they had home-field advantage, top bookmakers online offered prices of around Millwall.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Cardiff City’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Coventry are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

These two teams reached a stalemate earlier in this season of the Championship. Coventry were expected to win that game and even had the support of their home fans. The roles are reversed this time, but the 2.40 betting odds for an away win tell us they still have a decent shot at redeeming themselves.

Joe Ralls, Kion Etete, Ryotaro Tsunoda, Michael Reindorf will not be able to play for the hosts this Wednesday due to various injuries. This makes their chances of coming out on top as underdogs even smaller but is important to keep in mind when considering betting odds.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.88, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
