Cardiff City, Recent FormThe Cardiff City squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 away defeat against Preston North End, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they had 49% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Preston North End who had 12 attempts and 5 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 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. When playing at home this season, Cardiff City has notched up a tally of 8 clean sheets, highlighting the struggle some of their opponents have had to break through on goal.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Cardiff recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
West Bromwich Albion, Recent FormLast time out, West Bromwich Albion left content aftera 1-0 home win against Huddersfield Town They achieved 70% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Huddersfield Town's tally of 4 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 7 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Goalscorer Daryl Dike will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for West Bromwich Albion.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
Playing away from home, West Brom have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Cardiff.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met in the league, but West Brom hold a slight psychological advantage of being unbeaten in their last 3 meetings.
Cardiff manager Sabri Lamouchi has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ebou Adams (Leg), Jamilu Collins (Cruciate ligament) and Callum Robinson (Hamstring) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Carlos Corberán has a number of injury concerns in his West Brom squad to contend with: Karlan Ahearne-Grant (Muscle), Kyle Bartley (Foot), Grady Diangana (Foot), Alex Palmer (Knee), Matt Phillips (Muscle), Erik Pieters (Knee) and Brandon Thomas-Asante (Hamstring)
