Team News

Cardiff
Coventry
  • Experienced midfielder Joe Ralls has been steadily rebuilding his fitness and could step into the starting XI on Tuesday night.
  • Ollie Tanner put Cardiff ahead from the bench in the South Wales derby and should earn a start in midweek.
  • Wingers Josh Bowler and Callum O'Dowda are both set to miss out once again.
  • Coventry manager Mark Robins could make one change to the side that faced Hull with new signing Liam Kitching stepping into the back three.
  • Jamie Allen returned to the squad for the trip to Yorkshire on Friday night, meaning Fabio Tavares and Callum O'Hare are the away side's only confirmed absentees here.

Prediction

  • Cardiff were forced to wait until the final 20 minutes to find a breakthrough against arch-rivals Swansea on Saturday night as the Bluebirds ended their run of South Wales derby misery in style. Erol Bulut is laying solid foundations at Cardiff with the hosts having won two of their last three league games.
  • Coventry were on course for a valuable three points on the road against Hull on Friday night before a late Aaron Connolly goal levelled the scoreline with fewer than five minutes left on the clock. The Sky Blues are unbeaten since the opening day but have seen each of their last four league fixtures end as stalemates.
