Team News

Cardiff
Middlesbrough
  • Erol Bulut may hand a full league debut to right-back Raheem Conte following an impressive substitute cameo against Southampton last weekend.
  • Full-back duo Jamilu Collins and Perry Ng are both set to miss the visit of Middlesbrough this weekend.
  • Sam Greenwood and Luke Ayling were ineligible to face parent club Leeds on Monday, but should return to the starting XI here.
  • Lukas Engel missed the game against Leeds for personal reasons, and it is unknown whether or not he will feature on Saturday.

Prediction

  • Cardiff had academy graduates Luey Giles and Cian Ashford to thank last Saturday as the pair combined to earn the Bluebirds a 2-1 home win against promotion hopefuls Southampton.
  • Erol Bulut's side have won three of their last five league games and sit just one point behind their visitors in the standings.
  • A brace from in-form striker Emmanuel Latte Lath wasn't enough to help Middlesbrough earn a point from their clash with Leeds on Monday night as the Teessiders came out on the wrong side of a seven-goal thriller.
  • That result ended a run of nine Championship matches without a defeat.
