Team News

Bristol City
Cardiff
  • Liam Manning may hand starts to Ross McCrorie and Harry Cornick when Cardiff visit Ashton Gate on Saturday afternoon.
  • Kal Naismith remains a doubt for the Robins, who have three players sidelined for certain.
  • Erol Bulut could opt for an unchanged starting XI this weekend after watching his side beat Stoke 2-1 last Saturday.
  • The Bluebirds have three confirmed absentees, including goalkeeper Jak Alnwick and centre-back Mark McGuinness.

Prediction

  • Bristol City couldn't capitalise on a late Di-Shon Bernard red card last Saturday as they were beaten 2-1 on their travels by a struggling Sheffield Wednesday side.
  • The Robins have now lost back-to-back Championship matches, but remain 12th in the standings heading into gameweek 35.
  • First-half goals from attacking duo Kion Etete and Karlan Grant proved enough to see off relegation-threatened Stoke last weekend as Cardiff claimed all three points on home soil.
  • That result was a critical one for the Bluebirds, who had taken just one point from their previous four league matches.
