Cardiff City are set to host West Brom this Tuesday in the 10^th EFL Championship fixture at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Cardiff City have been on a losing streak of three matches and are struggling to bounce back in the competition. The latest encounter was against Blackburn in the match ending in a 5-1 defeat. Sean Morrison got the net for their consolation goal in the second half but the match was much on their side.

Cardiff city have won only 3 times in the campaign and have only claimed just one win from their last six matches. Cardiff city have lost four times in that run with Mick McCarthy’s men placed position 13 with 11 points, 8 points apart with the opponents.

The defending was unusually poor in the weekend’s encounter at Ewood Park, with numerous individual and collective errors contributing to a dreadful display overall. Cardiff’s manager will be expected to change the squad following the tough opponent they have faced only twice in the last seven years.

West Brom on the other hand have had an impressive run and are well focused to head back to the top flight as they come to this match. The new reign of Valerien Ismael has seen a success in the team managing the second position with 19 points just after Bournemouth.

The new man came in after their relegation last season and he has brought in new style and the squad has absorbed impressively. West Brom remain unbeaten in the campaign so far and will come to this match looking to extend the unbeaten run. West Brom come to this match on the back of a 2-1 victory against QPR.
