Neil Harris’ Cardiff City have blown hot and cold so far this season. The Bluebirds, who reached the play-offs last term, have won two, lost two and drawn one of their opening five Championship encounters.
Cardiff were hard to beat at the Cardiff City Stadium last season, but they have lost both of their fixtures on home turf this term. City were beaten by Sheffield Wednesday on the opening weekend, while Reading also left South Wales with all three points.
