- Venue: Cardiff City Stadium (Cardiff)
The 2024/25 season is the sixth straight for Cardiff in the second level of English football. However, they haven't played well so far, and the team from the Welsh capital is currently only five points ahead of the drop zone. Cardiff seems better than most teams behind them, especially after a solid three games without a defeat run in the previous weeks. They broke the positive run on Friday when Cardiff lost 2-0 on the road in the FA Cup against Aston Villa. Given the difference in quality between the teams, they defended well in most of that match and could take some positives for the rest of the season.
Burnley hopes to return to the Premier League after only one year of absence. They are five points behind the promotion zone, but with one game fewer played. Burnley were in an amazing run of 23 games without defeat until the last match, when Scott Parker's team lost 3-0 on the road in the FA Cup against Preston. Burnley used that game to rest most of the regular starters, as the Championship is an obvious priority.
Cardiff vs Burnley pick: Under 2.5 goals
Cardiff scored only three goals in the last four matches. On the other hand, Burnley allowed only three goals in the previous ten games. We shouldn't expect more than two goals on Tuesday night at Cardiff City Stadium.

Cardiff team news
Cardiff were realistic about their chances against Aston Villa, so they used that match to rest for much more important battles in the league. Omer Riza's team should revert to the best starting eleven on Tuesday against Burnley.
Cardiff have some problems with missing players. David Turnbull, Ollie Tanner, Joe Ralls, Jesper Daland, Will Alves, and Jak Alnwick are injured and will not play in the upcoming tie.
