After the announcement of Frank Lampard as the new head coach of Coventry City, they will host Cardiff City at The Coventry Building Society Arena on Saturday. Both sides are winless in their last four games. Can either side break that run, or would a draw be enough? Below are previews, possible starting 11, expert betting tips, and odds.

Coventry City suffered a 2-0 loss to Burnley in their last game to extend their winless run to 4 games. However, they will have a new man in the dugout against Cardiff City, with the club recently appointing Frank Lampard as the team's new head coach. He became the permanent successor of Mark Robins, who was sacked at the beginning of November. Coventry are 17th on the table with 17 points in 17 games, scoring 22 goals and conceding 25. Meanwhile, Haji Wright (leg injury), Ben Wilson (knee injury), and R. Borges Rodrigues (leg injury) will all miss this game.
Cardiff City
WLLDL
Cardiff City suffered a 2-0 loss in their last game against QPR and remained winless in their last four games. Interim boss Erol Bulut has been in the dugout for over 2 months, but indications aren’t pointing to him getting a permanent role with the club. They sit 21st on the table with 16 points in 17 games, scoring 15 goals and conceding 26. Meanwhile, Aaron Ramsey (muscle injury), Ryotaro Tsunoda (muscle injury), and Kion Etete (leg injury) are all out of this game.
Possible Starting 11
Coventry — Brad Collins, Milan van Ewijk, Bobby Thomas, Luis Binks, Jay Dasilva, Ben Sheaf, Josh Eccles, Ephron Mason-Clark, Jack Rudoni, Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Ellis Simms.
Cardiff — Jak Alnwick, Perry Ng, Dimitrios Goutas, Calum Chambers, Joel Bagan, Alexander Robertson, Joe Ralls, Chris Willock, Rubin Colwill, Callum O'Dowda, Callum Robinson.
Expert Betting Tips
After 18 months out of football management, Frank Lampard will now start his new role in this clash. With him in the dugout, I believe Coventry will return to winning ways. However, the visitors will not leave without making a mark. So, I expect them to get a consolation goal.
