Cardiff City Preview – Can Bluebirds take off?
An impressive opening day 1-0 home win over highly fancied Norwich City saw Cardiff City off to a flyer and three points against one of the favourites for automatic promotion but the Welsh club were swiftly brought back down to earth when they were handed a 2-1 defeat away at Reading last weekend.
Cardiff now return to their home surroundings for this lunchtime date with Birmingham City but although they hold home advantage, The Bluebirds have managed to win only two of their last eight matches overall and have won just three of their last nine games on home soil.
Birmingham City Preview – Can Blues extend promising start?
Four points from their opening two games of this new Championship season has brought cautious optimism around St Andrews and the Blues fans following an opening day point in a 0-0 draw away at Luton Town, followed by last Friday’s 2-1 home win against Huddersfield Town, both opponents being in last season’s play-offs.
However, Birmingham have claimed just one win from their last 16 outings on the road so another win here does seem unlikely but the visitors have held Cardiff City to draws in their last two meetings on the trot and look to have a decent chance of perhaps earning another point in this lunchtime clash.
