Recent respective form guides

Cardiff City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Bluebirds have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Coventry City's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. While the Sky Blues have hit 7 goals, 10 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Cardiff City lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola Championship, picking up 4 points from their 2 games so far. Coventry City see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 3 points from their 2 games played so far,
