Team News

Cardiff
Southampton
  • The hosts look set to be without as many as six players through injury here.
  • Russell Martin will look to rest key players here, with the potential for a completely rotated starting XI.

Prediction

  • Cardiff sit bottom of the Championship after three matches, and head into their Carabao Cup second round clash off the back of a 1-1 draw in Sunday's south Wales derby.
  • Southampton, meanwhile, are yet to score a goal in the Premier League so far this season, having fallen to 1-0 defeats against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.
  • Each side won their home fixture when these two met in the Championship last year, while Saints have won just one of their last four competitive visits to the Welsh capital.
  • Expect a close encounter, but the Premier League side should prevail here.
