Cardiff vs Swansea, 12.30 Cardiff City Stadium
Cardiff City and Swansea City face off on Saturday lunchtime in the first South Wales derby of the Championship campaign.
The Bluebirds head into the game in better form than their bitter rivals, but it is the Swans who are four points better off in the table.
This is a fixture Cardiff fans would have been dreading just a couple of weeks ago on the back of a 1-0 loss to Coventry City that left them 18th, nine points behind Swansea.
Since that shambolic loss at St Andrew’s, though, they have won four games from four, scoring 10 goals and conceding just one.
That includes back-to-back away victories over Watford and Stoke City, recovering from a goal down against the latter in midweek to keep their momentum going into this huge game.
For all of Cardiff’s improvements of late, they are still playing catch up to their far more consistent opponents.
Swansea have lost only three of their 17 games so far, most recently playing out a goalless draw with Bournemouth on Tuesday.
Prediction: Over 2.5 Match Goals @11/8
