The Capital One Cup schedule is live on Wednesday with Cardiff City and Coventry City matching up and the game is live at 2:45 pm ET and 7:45 pm local time and this Football League Cup match comes after a busy day on Tuesday and the first round matchup is live from Sixfields Stadium in Northampton as the Bluebirds play the Sky Blues.
The game is a big one for both teams and Coventry has Danny Pugh as a player to watch and he helped score two goals for the team in their last game with two great crosses and now he will be one to keep an eye on. Joe Ralls comes in for Cardiff and the team is looking to have a nice showing in this tournament after the team was relegated last season in the Premier League and they are hoping to get things together so they can come back and get to the EPL again.
Cardiff comes into the game as the favorites and they are looking to start up fast and they are hoping to get a nice performance here. Lee Burge will be in goal for Coventry and the team is looking to get things going in this matchup and they hope that move with Ryan Allsop is the right one and the team sounds ready to play.
Cardiff has played well in away games against Coventry in the past and they have three wins and three draws and they have not lost in six tries. The Sky Blues are looking to keep a clean sheet and they have not been able to do that in their last five games at home in League Cup play and that makes this one a game that could go that way once again. Cardiff comes in having lost just once in the past six first round ties in the Cap Cup and that gives the team some momentum in this matchup.
Cardiff made it into the EPL last year for the first time and it ended their 10 year run in the football League second division and now they are back there. The team is hoping to make a return soon, but they were the last place team last season and now will try and get back.
