Football : Capital One Cup
Venue: Sixfields Stadium
Wednesday 14th August 2014 – Kickoff time 02:45
Cardiff who are the favourites to gain promotion to the Premiership this season will take on League One hopeful Coventry in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday night.
Cardiff are the visitors here but the start as favourites as they have yet to taste defeat against Coventry as they have managed 3 wins and 3 draws in all competitions.
Cardiff started life in the Championships with a 1-1 draw against Blackburn in their opening match. It should be noted here that Cardiff have only lost one of their last six first round ties in the League Cup, that was back in 2012 against Northampton so they should get through against Coventry in this tie.
Cardiff do have quality in their side the likes of Adam Le Fondre, Nicky Maynard, Federico Macheda, Javy Guerra and Friday night’s scorer Kenwyne Jones all capable of scoring.
Meanwhile Coventry lost their opening match to Bradford last weekend and now they could face an uphill task without Callum Wilson after he was sold off to Bournemouth in the summer.
Reda Johnson scored two goals in his opening match for Coventry but the fact that Coventry haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their previous five home games in the League Cup means they are likely to struggle here.
And for the record, Coventry have also gone out in the first round of the competition in four of their last five appearances.
Take Cardiff and give the 1/2 ball here.
