Team News

Cardiff
Bristol City
  • Ömer Riza could revert back to a 4-2-3-1 system this weekend with Rubin Colwill stepping into the midfield and Will Alves making his full league debut.
  • Alex Robertson was absent from the matchday squad against Portsmouth and remains a doubt for the visit of Bristol City.
  • Yakou Meite and Jesper Daland could both be welcomed back after sitting out Cardiff's midweek clash.
  • Centre-back Luke McNally's injury has been confirmed as an ACL issue, meaning he will miss the remainder of the campaign.
  • Midfielder Joe Williams will serve the final instalment of a three-match suspension on Saturday.
  • Expect Liam Manning to make just one change to the side that beat Stoke with Nahki Wells replacing Sinclair Armstrong up top.

Prediction

  • Cardiff endured a disastrous start against fellow strugglers Portsmouth on Tuesday night as early goals from Colby Bishop and Conor Shaughnessy set the Bluebirds on course for a 2-1 away defeat.
  • Back-to-back defeats have left Ömer Riza's men looking over their shoulders at the relegation zone again.
  • Bristol City produced a perfect response to a narrow home defeat against rivals Swansea when they faced Stoke in midweek, cruising to a 2-0 win thanks to an Anis Mehmeti brace.
  • Liam Manning's men are now on the fringes of the play-off places, although they are winless in eight on their travels.
