Team News

Cardiff
Watford
  • Striker Kion Etete was withdrawn due to a knock on Tuesday night, so expect Ike Ugbo to lead the line for the Bluebirds on Saturday.
  • Left-back Jamilu Collins and winger Josh Bowler are both doubtful for the visit of Watford.
  • Valerien Ismael could hand starts to Ismael Kone, Rhys Healey and Yaser Asprilla this weekend following a distressing midweek performance.
  • Ryan Andrews was sent off late on against Sunderland and will therefore miss out against Cardiff.
  • A family bereavement meant Matheus Martins missed out in midweek. It is unknown whether or not he will return here.

Prediction

  • Cardiff were unable to produce a response to Isaiah Jones' 56th-minute goal on Tuesday night, instead conceding another late on as their winning streak came to an end against Middlesbrough. Erol Bulut's side had won four league games on the spin heading into that game and will hope to quickly restore momentum as they welcome Watford to south Wales.
  • Watford couldn't produce a response to goals from Niall Huggins and Abdoullah Ba on Wednesday night as they slipped to a 2-0 away defeat at the Stadium of Light. The Hornets have slumped to 21st in the standings off the back of three consecutive league defeats.
