Cardiff are struggling in the Championship with no wins since Bo🐽nfire Night and no goals ꦆscored over their last 270 minutes of action.
Leeds’ fortunes haven’t been much better of la🐻te, having gone five matches without a victory in all♔ competitions.
Illness has struck the hosts with Cedric Kipre, Gavin Whyte and Callum Robinson🐲 all missing out. Kion Etete and Mahlon Romeo are sidelined through injuries.
Jesse Marsch is wi🔥ജthout long-term absentees Luis Sinisterra, Stuart Dallas, Adam Forshaw and Archie Gray, while Patrick Bamford is listed as a doubt.
Winner: Leeds
This match is a great opportunity to ge💯t back to winning ways for Leeds.
A victory will ease the pressure on Marsch, and give them something to build on ahead of a crucial Premier League encounter with Aston Villa n🎃ext weekend.
Cardiff haven’t won at home in five matches, and have🐈 just two victories at home since mid Auꦍgust.
While Leeds haven’t 🍬exactl🎶y been formidable on the road, they have sufficient quality to win this tie inside 90 minutes.
Total Goals: Under 2.5
There has been a grand total of three ♚goals across Cardiff’s last four matches.
The Welsh club have struggled to find the net, but have been relatively solid in def🎉ence. Only three of their 13 home matches in the Championship have provided over 2.5 goals.
Cup fixtures can🍌 free teams up. Plus, Leeds are no strangers to an open match.
The under still loo♊ks like the better value option at this price, however, with Cardiff keen to frustrate the visitors and aiming for a one-goal victory.
First Card Received: Leeds
Only four teams have received fewer bookings than Cardiff in the Championship, and the Bluebirds are well below aver꧑age when it comes to fouls per match.
Leed💞s, in stark contrast, commit the most fouls per fixture in the Premier League and have an array of card candidates in their squad.
