Team News

Cardiff
Plymouth
  • Erol Bulut could make two changes on Tuesday afternoon as he looks to keep legs fresh with Ryan Wintle and Rubin Colwill returning to the starting XI.
  • Central midfielder Joe Ralls returned to the starting XI on Saturday, meaning Cardiff have just two injuries to contend with on Boxing Day.
  • Kevin Nancekivell could make one change to the side that faced Birmingham at the weekend with Kaine Kesler-Hayden returning in place of Brendan Galloway.
  • Mustapha Bundu has an outside chance of featuring in Wales, but Ryan Hardie and Michael Cooper are both confirmed absentees.

Prediction

  • Cardiff were heading for a disappointing away defeat against relegation-threatened Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday before two late goals flipped the scoreline and sent the points the way of the Bluebirds. Home form remains a concern for the Welsh side, who have lost three of their last four league games at the Millennium Stadium.
  • Plymouth capitalised on a 48th-minute Krystian Bielik red card to salvage a 3-3 draw from a 3-1 losing position at the weekend as they put another point between themselves and the bottom three. The Pilgrims may have lost popular manager Steven Schumacher, but they are unbeaten in three league outings heading into Boxing Day's fixtures.
