Coventry City, Recent FormCoventry City head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 3-1 away win against Huddersfield Town in their last league encounter. They achieved 55% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Huddersfield Town's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 12 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Mark Robins will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 7 goals in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Ellis Simms will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 6 goals in Coventry City's last 6 league games.
Cardiff City, Recent FormThe 2-0 home defeat to Sunderland will not have sat easily with the Cardiff City squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 56%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Sunderland had 18 shots on goal with 8 on target.
Manager Erol Bulut will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
On an individual basis, Perry Ng will be looking to cause Coventry City some problems having scored 3 goals in Cardiff City's last 6 away games in the league.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 3-2 win for Cardiff City.
Coventry have managed to keep a clean sheet against The Bluebirds in each of their previous 3 meetings at Coventry Building Society Arena.
In the league, Coventry have been unbeaten in their last 4 times they have welcomed Cardiff to Coventry Building Society Arena.
With only Jamie Allen (Broken cheekbone) and Tatsuhiro Sakamoto (Back) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Mark Robins will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Erol Bulut has a number of injury concerns in his Cardiff squad to contend with: Jak Alnwick (Knock), Kion Etete (Leg) and Mark McGuinness (Hamstring)
