Cardiff City vs Coventry City
England Championship, KO: 19:45 Feb 15, 2022, tolushotade907@gmail.com
Cardiff City will be looking to keep their head above water as they host Coventry City in an English Championship fixture on Tuesday. Both teams have shown similar form in recent weeks and appear evenly matched at the moment.
The task for Cardiff City for the rest of the season will be to increase the 12-point gap above the relegation zone. There is a similar points difference between them and the top 10 and they will be looking to finish as close as possible.
The Welsh side suffered a 2-1 defeat at Millwall in their previous Championship fixture with Joel Bagan getting an injury time consolation. Cardiff had won their previous three matches before this defeat and will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways on Friday.
The Cardiff City Stadium has been a good hunting ground for Steve Morison’s men as they have won their last two home matches. Their most recent fixture in front of their fans was a 4-0 victory over Peterborough United.
Coventry City have also been in good form lately and travel to Cardiff unbeaten in three of their last four Championship matches. They are pushing for a place in the top half and are just one point behind Luton Town in 10th position.
Mark Robins’ men claimed a 3-2 victory over Reading in their previous Championship fixture. They fought back from a goal down with efforts from Dominic Hyam and Michael Rose giving them the lead before Ian Maatsen struck the winner midway through the second half.
That victory at Reading is a pointer to Coventry City’s fine showings on their recent travels as they have suffered just one defeat in their last seven away matches.
