Insights:
  • Bristol City have the most dropped points from leading position (8) in Championship

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Championship game only four days ago. That game was also an away game, at West Bromwich Albion. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Cardiff City form and stats
