Form, Standings, Stats

Last Game: Watford 0-1 Cardiff
Saturday, February 3 at 3pm in Championship

We said: Cardiff City 2-1 Preston North End

Cardiff earned a much-needed three points at Watford last Saturday, and with a host of January arrivals set for their home debuts, it could be a good afternoon for the Bluebirds against Preston. The Lilywhites did well to beat top-two hopefuls Ipswich last time out, but we feel that Lowe's side will be hindered by their inconsistency once again in South Wales. Read more.
