Coventry vs Cardiff Prediction & Match Preview

Coventry will have a nice opportunity to extend their fascinating spell of form on Monday afternoon. They play host to Cardiff City in Matchday No 40 at The Coventry Building Society Arena.

• Coventry are flying high with a run of five wins in the last six outings across competitions.
• We saw three or more goals in all but one of Coventry’s previous 13 matches in all competitions.
• Ellis Simms bagged ten goals in the previous six appearances for the Sky Blues.

Coventry are firing on all cylinders these days. They backed up couple of impressive consecutive league wins with a huge 3-2 victory away at Wolves in the FA Cup quarter-finals two weeks ago. The team’s main star Ellis Simms stole the show by delivering a goal and an assist in the final three minutes of a ten-minute stoppage time at Molineux Stadium.

The Sky Blues came into Friday’s match at Huddersfield with a four-point deficit on Norwich City in sixth place. Coventry also have a game in hand on the Canaries, meaning the promotional playoffs are well within the reach in the remaining seven rounds of the regular campaign. Cardiff were four points behind in 11th position ahead of their home match with Sunderland on Friday.

Coventry vs Cardiff Head-to-head

• The outfits have three victories apiece in the previous seven head-to-head encounters.
• Cardiff celebrated a 3-2 win in the return match played in September last year on Welsh soil.
• We saw goals at both ends just twice in the previous seven head-to-head games.

Coventry vs Cardiff Prediction

Cardiff City have had a rollercoaster campaign in this term of the Championship. They tend to play in streaks. Unfortunately for their fans, the positive thread seems to be behind the Bluebirds. Erol Bulut’s men snapped a four-win run with a painful 0-2 defeat to Welsh rivals Swansea City just before the international break. They failed to fix the impression on Friday afternoon against Sunderland either.

Coventry City will go into this in much higher spirits. They won five of the last six affairs across competitions. Since we’ve seen three or more goals in all but one of the last 13 games Coventry played in all competitions, we have to take the Home win & Over 2.5 goals pick as the main betting option at the 2.50 odds.

Ellis Simms has been on a hot run of form for Coventry City of late. He bagged ten goals in the last six appearances for the Sky Blues. Simms completed a first-half brace on Friday afternoon away at Huddersfield Town. Cardiff City shipped at least two goals in each of the last two league matches. The Bluebirds allowed six shots on target in the first half of Friday’s match against Sunderland. You can back Simms to score anytime at the 2.60 odds.
