History of the Coventry City v Cardiff City fixture

Cardiff City face a trip to Coventry City at Highfield Road Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 12 out of 16 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in October 2003, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Coventry City's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. The Sky Blues's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.
