Prediction

  • Erol Bulut enjoyed a crucial victory against Watford one week ago with his side defending well after Josh Bowler nudged them in front before the half-time break.
  • Home form remains a concern for the Bluebirds, who have drawn one and lost three of their last four Championship games at the Millennium Stadium.
  • Preston struck twice inside the opening eight minutes of their game against promotion hopefuls Ipswich last weekend as they sealed a 3-2 home win against Kieran McKenna's side.
  • The Lilywhites remain unconvincing away from home though, picking up just one point from their last four league outings on their travels.
