Team News

Cardiff
Watford
  • Ömer Riza could revert back to the side that faced Middlesbrough two weeks ago with the only change being the return of Chris Willock out wide.
  • Striker Callum Robinson is suspended, while Roko Simic is among five injury concerns in the Cardiff camp.
  • Pierre Dwomoh is unavailable for Watford after going down with an injury during the FA Cup defeat to Fulham.
  • Daniel Bachmann is facing three months on the sidelines, so Jonathan Bond will step in between the sticks for the foreseeable future.

Prediction

  • Cardiff have shown signs of improvement in early 2025, drawing 1-1 against playoff contenders Middlesbrough in their most recent league outing and beating Sheffield United 1-0 away from home in the FA Cup. The Bluebirds remain in the relegation zone heading into this midweek fixture but are unbeaten in three league matches.
  • Rocco Vata scored a spectacular goal from range against Fulham on Thursday night but his goal counted for little at the full-time whistle as Tom Cleverley's men were hammered 4-1 on the road. Tuesday's visitors are slipping away from the playoff battle after three straight league defeats.
