Cardiff
Middlesbrough
- Rubin Colwill impressed against Southampton on Wednesday night and could be rewarded with a start in the league on Saturday.
- Expect one further change with Callum Robinson pushing for a spot in the starting XI after scoring from the bench against Swansea.
- Michael Carrick should opt for the same starting XI that faced Portsmouth last weekend with no full debuts for Micah Hamilton or Tommy Conway.
- Rav van den Berg and Riley McGree are both closing in on their returns from injury.
Cardiff fought Swansea for draw but Middlesbrough are not a derby this,week and I believe them to,be stronger. Away win
