Neil Harris’ Cardiff City welcome Slaven Bilic’s West Bromwich Albion to the Cardiff City Stadium for an EFL Championship fixture on Tuesday evening. Leaders West Brom have won just one of their previous eight in the league, while the Bluebirds have been beaten just twice since Harris took over. This should be an intriguing fixture in the Welsh capital.

Cardiff City Preview – Will the Bluebirds keep up fine home record?
Cardiff City have been very hard to beat under Neil Harris. After 15 league and cup fixtures, only Brentford and Queens Park Rangers have beaten Harris’ Bluebirds. However, the Welsh outfit have drawn far too many matches of late, with seven of their last ten across all competitions ending all square.
Cardiff have never really troubled the top six this season. Despite Harris making a strong start, winning three and drawing one of his opening four, the Bluebirds have spent most of the season in and around mid-table. At the time of writing, City are seven points adrift of the play-offs in 13th place.
Too many draws have hindered their momentum, but Cardiff have been incredibly hard to beat at home this season. Only Severnside rivals Bristol City have left the Welsh capital with maximum points. Can the hosts make home advantage count this Tuesday night?
West Bromwich Albion Preview – Can the Baggies get back to winning ways in the Championship?
Despite winning just one of their last eight (five draws, two defeats), West Bromwich Albion remain top of the Championship table, mainly due to Leeds United’s poor run of results. However, the chasing pack have caught up, with Fulham now just four points off the top.
West Brom have the best home record in the second tier at present, picking up an impressive 29 points from a possible 42. Slaven Bilic’s side have won eight, drawn five and lost only one of their 14 away league fixtures. Albion have also secured away wins at Charlton Athletic and West Ham United in the Emirates FA Cup.
