Prediction

  • Cardiff turned in a turgid performance last time out, conceding late in both halves as they were beaten 3-1 in London by a relegation-threatened Millwall side.
  • Erol Bulut is still yet to convince large parts of the Bluebirds' faithful as he battles to secure a new contract for the 2024/25 campaign.
  • Southampton's march towards the automatic promotion battle continued in midweek as they scored three times inside the opening 33 minutes en route to a dominant home win against Preston.
  • After three straight league wins, the Saints are now five points behind league leaders Ipswich with a game in hand.
