Competition: England Championship
Competition: Sat 13.February
Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)
Venue: Cardiff City Stadium (26828 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Cardiff City are in the 11th position while the guesting Coventry City worry at 19th.

Insights:
  • Cardiff City have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Championship match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Rotherham United.

Cardiff City form and stats

When playing at home in the Championship, Cardiff City have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 7 defeats from 14 games.

A strong away win for Cardiff City against Rotherham United the last match, as Joe Bennett and Sheyi Ojo were on target. In the game before, an away victory match versus Bristol City with a 2-0 scoreline.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Cardiff City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 15 games) they have won eight times, drawn three and lost four.

There will be little rest for Cardiff after this match as they are travelling to Luton Town for a Championship game in only three days.

Cardiff has scored 20 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 18 goals have been conceded.

Coventry City form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Coventry City so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-8 (win-draw-lose).

There were no winners in Coventry's previous match, a Championship home game that ended 0-0 vs Watford (placed 5th). A 1-2 loss hosting Nottingham Forest before that.

We have checked recent matches where Coventry have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those eight games were one victory, four draws and three defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Coventry are hosting Norwich City in the Championship only four days away.

The attacking power of Coventry City when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 14 league matches away. As for defending, Coventry rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 22 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Coventry City - Cardiff 1-0 played earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Cardiff won seven games, two matches ended with a draw and Coventry City has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / five
