Coventry host Cardiff in one of the most interesting games of the Matchday No 7 in Championship on Wednesday evening.
Both Coventry and Cardiff used the international break well to recover from recent defeats and get back on the winning ways at the weekend.
Coventry managed to break Middlesbrough’s resistance with two late second-half goals from strikers Viktor Gyokeres and Martin Waghorn.
Gyokeres has been just fantastic so far in the season. The Swedish forward has three goals and two assists to his name in six appearances. He will no doubts be the main threat to Cardiff’s goal on Wednesday.
The visitors managed a second-half comeback to survive a Nottingham Forrest threat in the last match of the previous Gameweek on Sunday afternoon at The City Ground.
Substitute Rubin Colwell made the difference by bagging a brace after coming on from the bench 12 minutes into the second half.
However, the head coach Mick McCarthy still has plenty of reasons to be worried ahead of his team’s trip to Coventry despite the weekend’s victory.
Cardiff City are just incapable of keeping things tight defensively these days. The team failed to keep a clean sheet in five subsequent outings across competitions.
This will be the music to the ears of the aforementioned Gyokeres who is well worth backing to score anytime here at the 3.25 odds

周三晚上,考文垂主场迎战卡迪夫,这是英冠第七比赛日中最有趣的比赛之一。
考文垂和卡迪夫都很好地利用了国际比赛的休息时间,从最近的失败中恢复过来,并在周末回到了胜利的道路上。
考文垂在下半场末段用两名前锋维克多·吉约雷斯和马丁·瓦格霍恩的进球突破了米德尔斯堡的防守。
迄今为止,Gyokeres在这个赛季的表现非常出色。这位瑞典前锋在六场比赛中攻入3球,助攻2次。毫无疑问,他将是周三卡迪夫进球的主要威胁。
周日下午,客队在城市球场上的最后一场比赛中,下半场卷土重来,战胜了诺丁汉福勒斯特的威胁。
替补上场的鲁宾·科尔韦尔在下半场第12分钟替补出场后攻入一球,扭转了比分。
然而,尽管周末取得了胜利,主教练麦克-麦卡锡仍然有很多理由担心他的球队客场挑战考文垂。
卡迪夫城在这段时间里已经无法保持严密的防守了。这支球队在随后的五场比赛中都没有保持一球不失球。
这将是前面提到的Gyokeres的耳朵里的音乐,在3.25的赔率下,他们很值得在任何时候得分
