THE PREDICTION
Cardiff come into this match unbeaten in their last four Championship games under new boss Mick McCarthy with the Bluebirds having won their most recent two fixtures vs Bristol City and Rotherham respectively. Whilst Coventry held Watford to a 0-0 draw last time out, the Sky Blues are only three points above the relegation places and may be starting to look over their shoulder. When assessing both sides, Cardiff clearly boast the higher quality of players with the likes of Welsh international duo Harry Wilson and Kieffer Moore within their ranks. All they needed was a manager to mesh their talented squad to together and McCarthy seems to be that person. With the hosts currently riding the crest of a wave, they should be able to carry their high confidence and momentum through with another three points in this match.
