- Venue: Cardiff City Stadium (Cardiff)
There are 13 more Championship rounds left in the season, but Cardiff and Hull are the two teams in danger. Both sides are currently only three points above the drop zone, and every point will matter in the coming weeks.
If Cardiff gets relegated, that will be their first trip to League One since 2003. However, the team from the Welsh capital lost only two of the previous 13 matches in all competitions, so there is optimism among the fans that their team will not struggle for survival in the final weeks. In the previous game, Cardiff played 1-1 on the road against Plymouth. The guests were better until the 53rd minute when Dimitrios Goutas got a red card. Since then, the home side dominated, but Cardiff still took one point home.
After four Championship seasons, Hull could return to League One. Their recent form is worrying as they won only three of the last nine matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 1-0 on the road against Sunderland. The home side was a heavy favorite, but Hull was very fortunate to get all three points. Maybe that game will shake up the things around the team and restore some confidence.
Cardiff vs Hull pick: Under 2.5 goals
Both these teams are struggling with scoring. Cardiff scored only three goals in the last three matches. On the other hand, Hull scored two goals during the same span. We shouldn't expect more than two goals on Tuesday night in Cardiff.
