Coventry City hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 9 points and a 21st position in the Championship table. Visiting Cardiff City holds 15th place with 14 pts.
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Championship game only four days ago. That game, against Millwall, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Cardiff City.
Coventry City form and stats
Coventry City, who have the most conceded goals (23) in Championship, have played 6 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).
Coventry drew their last game, also a home match. Birmingham City (placed 17th) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. A defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Watford.
Coventry City are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Norwich City awaits in three days.

Cardiff City form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Championship travels is 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat.
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Millwall (placed 9th) in their previous outing. The Championship match ended in a draw 1-1. A loss against Bristol City was the result prior to that, in a home game.
After this away game Cardiff return home for a Championship game against Luton Town. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The visiting Cardiff have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 7 goals from 6 games. It's not easy to score on Cardiff as they have only conceded 5 goals from these away games.
