Team News

Cardiff
Swansea
  • Erol Bulut could a first league start to Nottingham Forest loanee Jonathan Panzo after he appeared from the bench against Ipswich last time out.
  • Winger Josh Bowler is still managing a calf injury and is Cardiff's only confirmed absentee for this derby game on Saturday.
  • Michael Duff is set to hand full league debuts to centre-back Bashir Humphreys and striker Jamal Lowe, the latter of whom is returning to the club for his second spell.
  • Steven Benda joined Fulham during the summer transfer window, making Liam Walsh the away side's only injury concern here.

Prediction

  • Cardiff failed to follow up the first league win of Erol Bulut's time in charge with a positive result, losing 3-2 to newly promoted Ipswich ahead of the international break. Saturday evening's hosts will be hoping to make it back-to-back home league wins when they take on arch-rivals Swansea in the South Wales derby.
  • Swansea went into the half-time break against Bristol City with a 1-0 lead, but the Welsh club conceded twice in the following 15 minutes as they were left empty-handed. Michael Duff is still waiting on his first league win as Swansea boss and this would be the perfect time to get it.
