Cardiff City, Recent FormCardiff City enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 away win over Queens Park Rangers last time out in the league. They came away from that fixture with 36% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Queens Park Rangers managed 8 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Of their last 6 games played at home, they've have been unable to score in 3 games and only kept 1 clean sheet.
They've had a terrible run of form at Cardiff City Stadium recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win.
Aaron Ramsey will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Cardiff City.
Leeds United, Recent FormIn their last match Leeds United enforced their superiority over Birmingham City with a 3-0 home win. In that game they recorded 64 % of the possession, with 21 attempts on goal, 11 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 8 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Daniel Farke will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
They're experiencing a bit of an unwelcome spell of form away from home, having lost 3 of their last 6 on the road and picking up only 2 wins.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Leeds United, Crysencio Summerville will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
Goals should be on the cards for Cardiff in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against The Whites in their last 6 meetings together. In the previous 5 matches between these sides, The Bluebirds have shown they know their way around the Leeds defence having scored 14 times against them in those 5 matches.
Leeds has a poor track record in the league when they visit Cardiff, losing in their last 2 games.
With only Callum O'Dowda (Leg) and Aaron Ramsey (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Erol Bulut will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Daniel Farke has a number of injury concerns in his Leeds squad to contend with: Luke Ayling (Knee), Stuart Dallas (Broken hip), Jamie Shackleton (Buttocks) and Pascal Struijk (Groin)
