Coventry U21 vs Cardiff U21 tips and predictions

Visitors face frustration

It's generally accepted that when these sides meet they are bound to produce some goals although that doesn't mean there's value in the prices.

It's not a widely held view to go for the upset but Cardiff U21 really look too short to support.

Coventry U21 will be desperate for evidence that they can add another L to the Cardiff U21's recent results. The visitors come into the match with 10 losses from their last 20 away assignments. To back such a short priced team you might have wanted a better set of results than this.

It won't surprise anyone to see them dismiss the challenge of Coventry U21 but this isn't a formality and a home win is a reasonable suggestion.

While not necessarily enough to pull of the upset Coventry U21 have shown some form. The hosts have been making the most of a recent purple patch. They have scored three or more times in 5 of their recent 18 home matches and that's been backed up throughout their ranks. The records show they have kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 home games.

Cardiff U21 can be guilty of losing their shape away from home. As a result they've condeded an average of 2.9 goals in their last 15 matches away from their own turf. If there are genuine concerns, maybe they are also materialising the other end of the pitch. The visitors have not been able to depend on their play-makers lately. They've been goalless in 4 of their last 14 matches.

Winning might be a stretch but they can grab something here. Perhaps a well contested draw is on the cards. The betting markets suggest that both sides can get in on the act despite the favouritism for Cardiff U21. This preview is all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that looks like a good way to extract some value here.
