Cardiff City will square off against Coventry City in the EFL Championship on Saturday (October 15).
The hosts are coming off a 3-1 away victory over Wigan Athletic. Callum Robinson, Sheyi Ojo and Ryan Wintle found the back of the net to guide the Bluebirds to victory.
Coventry, meanwhile, suffered a 1-0 defeat to Burnley at home, with Nathan Tella's 39th-minute strike proving to be the difference.

Cardiff City vs Coventry City Prediction
Coventry have failed to get going this season and need to quickly turn things around to avoid falling further behind in their quest to remain in the Championship.
Regardless of Saturday's results, Coventry will remain at the bottom of the standings, and their poor away record does not augur well for their hopes of beating Cardiff.
Furthermore, Cardiff have a strong home record against the Sky Blues, having not lost at home to the west Midlands outfit since 2007. The hosts should claim a comfortable win and also keep a clean sheet.
