Cardiff vs Coventry – Coventry City travels to Cardiff City in the Championship, seeking a win that will put them back in contention for the playoffs.
The Sky Blues are in 12th place in the rankings, while Cardiff are in 20th place after their three-match winning streak ended on Saturday.
Despite scoring 10 points out of a possible 18 in the Championship, Coventry have fallen down the standings as a result of several of the clubs surrounding them experiencing unexpected form changes.
Nonetheless, Mark Robins can be satisfied with his team’s recent efforts, especially after they came back to win 3-2 against Reading on Saturday.
Cardiff’s Steve Morison will be relieved to be able to go into games without any lingering burden on his shoulders, thanks to a three-match winning streak.
Even though he was only recently hired as temporary manager, there was concern about his future at the club, but that nine-point haul has placed distance between the Bluebirds and the bottom three.
Cardiff vs Coventry – Team News
Despite losing two late goals at Millwall, Morison is unlikely to make any changes to a Cardiff defense that has been in excellent form.
Changes could be made higher up the pitch, with Will Vaulks and Uche Ikpeazu both in contention to start in midfield and attack.
Rubin Colwill may return to the replacements’ bench for this game after missing the weekend match due to a foot injury.
If Robins makes any changes to his Coventry starting lineup, it will almost certainly be on the left side, where Jake Bidwell, Ian Maatsen, and Jordan Shipley are all battling for two spots.
The latter could be the one to miss out, as he was at the weekend, while Martyn Waghorn is a doubt after not playing against Reading due to injury.
Cardiff City possible starting lineup:
Smithies; Drameh, Ng, Flint, McGuinness, Bagan; Doyle, Wintle, Ralls; Hugill, Ikpeazu
Coventry City possible starting lineup:
Moore; Hyam, Rose, Clarke-Salter; Kane, Hamer, Sheaf, Bidwell; O’Hare, Maatsen; Gyokeres
