Command Analysis
Cardiff City
WalesCurrent form
Cardiff have a very modest selection of players and in such a situation it was difficult to count on anything more than keeping their place in the Championship. So far, Omer Riz team has not even managed this task and is in 22nd place in the table with 21 points in the asset - the saving 21st place is one point away. Quite recently, the situation was even more difficult, but thanks to a 2:1 victory over Watford in the last round, there was a chance to leave the relegation zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- Cardiff have won just one of their last 10 matches

Probable line-up: Alnwick - Dalan, Gutas, Chambers - Rinomhota, Siopis, Robertson, O'Dowda - Robinson, Ashford, Willock.
Coventry City
EnglandCurrent form
Coventry, unlike their opponents today, have a solid selection of players for the Championship, with whom they were probably counting on fighting for a playoff spot. However, the Sky Blues frankly failed in the first round and currently occupy only 15th place in the table with 28 points, seven points ahead of the relegation zone - sixth Middlesbrough is nine points ahead. Having drawn a goalless draw with Millwall in the last round, Frank Lampard team scored points in the second match in a row.

1.95Tip and bets
Coventry will certainly try to take the maximum today - there are still chances to fight for the playoffs and the visitors will clearly try to take advantage of them. In general, the visitors are quite capable of getting all three points - Cardiff has won only one victory in its last 10 matches, and has not scored a single point in its last four home games, so it makes sense to give preference to the Sky Blues.
We believe that the visitors have a better chance of winning. Forecast - Coventry win . This bet is offered with odds of 2.15
Bet on total
Coventry will undoubtedly come today for three points and will probably go forward with a large force right away – the hosts are not known for their reliability in defense. At the same time, Cardiff, despite a number of failures in recent home matches, will probably try to respond, the tournament position obliges them to take risks and play for victory – an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.79
Bet on corners
Cardiff will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Coventry are quite capable of responding and there should be plenty of corners.
Bet - total over 10.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.99
