S.P. Read Esq. Sending Coventry to, er Coventry
Our daily columnist and pundit S.P.Read Esq. previews the League Cup match tonight between COVENTRY v CARDIFF and the best opportunity available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.
Not long now to wait before the kick off of the new Premier League season on Saturday with the 12.45pm kick off between Man U and Swansea but first the delights of ……
Coventry City v Cardiff City
Capital One Cup 1st Round
7.45, LIVE ON SKY SPORTS 1
Don’t forget the match is traded throughout the live play on Star Spreads.
If last night’s games were anything to go by, expect goals and plenty of them. Dagenham 6 Brentford 6 (after extra time) was one of the more juicy games last night.
The only other League Cup tie to have produced so many goals was Reading 5-7 Arsenal in 2012.

On paper this looks pretty one sided in favour of Cardiff. They began life in the Championship with a 1-1 draw against Blackburn in the first match of the new season and face a League One Coventry side who have failed to win any of their last eight games. Their new season started with a 3-2 defeat to Bradford.
Cardiff very much have the edge in the head to head records too, although the last two times they have met it’s resulted in a draw.
Cardiff boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is likely to make several changes, including a start for striker Javi Guerra.
Kevin Theophile-Catherine, Magnus Eikrem, Kim Bo-Kyung and Guido Burgstaller could also all start.
Biggest change for Coventry could see Lee Burge in goal.
I’m expecting the goal trend to continue so am buying goals with Star Spreads.
