Team News

Cardiff
Rotherham
  • Versatile forward Karlan Grant picked up a knock during last weekend's clash with Sunderland and remains a doubt for the home side, meaning Ollie Tanner could start out wide.
  • Expect an elsewhere unchanged starting XI from Erol Bulut, despite Wednesday's Carabao Cup duties.
  • Rotherham's injury crisis got even worse last weekend when Cameron Humphreys picked up a serious hamstring injury.
  • The Millers now have just one fit senior centre-back and will likely therefore switch to a 3-5-2 system with Cohen Bramall and Dexter Lembikisa flanking Tyler Blackett.
  • Elsewhere, Sam Nombe and Sebastian Revan could be recalled to the starting XI.

Prediction

  • Cardiff had centre-back Mark McGuinness to thank last Sunday as his late goal helped Cardiff claim a shock 1-0 away win against an in-form Sunderland side. Erol Bulut now has the players and fans on board and the Bluebirds head into this game off the back of three straight league wins.
  • In isolation, a 1-1 draw at home against former league leaders and a still-unbeaten Preston side looks like a solid result, but the Millers attempted just three shots in that game and have now dropped to 23rd in the table. Only winless Sheffield Wednesday are below Matt Taylor's side who have failed to pick up a single point on the road this season.
