Cardiff City Preview – Can Cardiff win back-to-back?
An impressive 2-1 home win against high-flying automatic promotion contenders, West Brom, during the week saw Cardiff City grab a valuable three points which helped the hosts up into 12th place in the Championship and just 5 points within touch of the play-off pack.
It’s just 1 defeat out of their last 8 matches overall for Cardiff with that loss being a particularly humiliating 6-1 thrashing away at QPR, but Cardiff’s situation looks a lot brighter on home turf at their Cardiff City Stadium.
The Bluebirds possess a strong and solid home record which stands at 8-5-1 21/11 which includes a 6-match unbeaten sequence heading into Friday night’s clash with Reading, having recorded wins against Stoke City, Barnsley and most impressive of all, a 2-1 win over West Brom.
The bigger picture shows that Cardiff have lost just 1 of their last 16 matches at home in the Championship.
Reading Preview – Can Reading recover again?
Reading’s recent rejuvenation program under manager, Mark Bowen, has stalled somewhat in the past few matches as The Royals are now without a win in the Championship from their last 4 matches which includes defeats to Millwall and Bristol City, who themselves have staged something of a recovery in recent times.
Point gained in draws with Nottingham Forest (home and away) were considered good results but it still means that Reading have picked up just 2 points from the last possible 12 on offer and this has resulted in the Berkshire outfit remaining in 15th place in the Championship.
This is still a marked improvement from earlier in the season which saw Reading floundering in the lower reaches of the second tier, and the visitors have lost just 1 of their last 7 matches on their travels too.
An away record of 4-6-5 16/15 has been improved in recent times but can the visitors get over their recent mini-slump in Wales tonight?
