Cardiff City Preview – Can Cardiff jump into top half?
Cardiff City recorded a welcome and much-needed three points on Wednesday night with a convincing 3-0 home win against Barnsley which in turn ended a four-match sequence without a win in the Championship.
Three draws and a defeat in recent times for The Bluebirds include stalemates with Bournemouth, Middlesbrough and Derby County (all in 1-1 draws) along with Saturday’s 3-2 defeat away from home at QPR, but the recent win against Barnsley will give Neil Harris and his side confidence for Friday night.
Having won just one of their last six matches at home though, the prospects of a Cardiff City win here appear to hang in the balance but goals have been limited at the Cardiff City Stadium in recent times as three of Cardiff’s last five home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals, while the last three meetings against Bristol City have also seen under 2.5 goals.
Bristol City Preview – Can Bristol City gain another away win?
A 2-1 win away from home at Huddersfield Town on Tuesday night handed Bristol City an equally welcome three points as The Robins also put an end to a miserable five-match sequence without a win in the Championship.
Recent draws with Barnsley and Swansea City have been outweighed by defeats against Middlesbrough, Bournemouth and Norwich City which undid all the impressive work that Bristol City achieved at the start of this new season.
The Robins had collected four wins on the trot with victories over Coventry City, Stoke City, Sheffield Wednesday and Nottingham Forest but inconsistency continues to plague the west country outfit – the visitors have won just four of their last 12 away matches in the second tier.
