Team News

Cardiff
Middlesbrough
  • Rubin Colwill impressed against Southampton on Wednesday night and could be rewarded with a start in the league on Saturday.
  • Expect one further change with Callum Robinson pushing for a spot in the starting XI after scoring from the bench against Swansea.
  • Michael Carrick should opt for the same starting XI that faced Portsmouth last weekend with no full debuts for Micah Hamilton or Tommy Conway.
  • Rav van den Berg and Riley McGree are both closing in on their returns from injury.

Prediction

  • Callum Robinson popped up when it mattered last Sunday, scoring with 11 minutes left on the clock to deny fierce rivals Swansea all three points in the South Wales Derby.
  • That result will be little more than a band-aid for Erol Bulut. His side have scored just once in three league games and sit bottom of the Championship heading into gameweek four.
  • Substitute Tommy Conway scored a 90th-minute equaliser on his debut last weekend as Middlesbrough rescued a draw against newly-promoted Portsmouth.
  • Michael Carrick's side attempted 30 shots in that game, meaning for the second league match running, they dominated without their deserved reward at the whistle.
