Cardiff to extend their unbeaten run
Cardiff are in great form recently as they haven’t lost a championship game in nine games. The Bluebirds are 8th with 50 points, two points behind Bournemouth at 6th. A win here and a couple of results in their favor could see Cardiff climb up to within a playoff spot.
Coach Mick McCarthy’s team came back with an important point from Middlesbrough with a 1-1 result. Cardiff opened up the scoring in the first half but couldn’t keep their lead conceding their only third goal in five matches.
A draw may satisfy Derby
Derby County have lost drawn and won in their last three matches. Boss Wayne Rooney will want more stable results in their upcoming matches, although their form has been quite well in recent weeks winning six of their last ten matches.
In their last match, The Rams drew at home against Nottingham Forest having to come back after going down in the first half. Derby had to wait until the 84th minute to equalize through their top goalscorer Colin Kazim-Richards. That was his fourth goal in eight matches.
