Cardiff City vs Plymouth Argyle Match Analysis & Prediction
19/10/2024 2:30 pm
Cardiff City will welcome Plymouth Argyle on Saturday looking for the win that may take them off the bottom of the Championship table.
While a change in the Cardiff dugout was an inevitability given their prolonged poor form, supporters would not have expected Omer Riza to remain in temporary charge for over three weeks.
Instead, the Cardiff hirarchy have decided to stick with the interim manager after he guided the club to four points from his opening three matches in charge.
At the start of October, the Bluebirds finally got a win on the board, securing a 1-0 victory over Millwall, before they earned a respectable 1-1 draw at Bristol City.
Now witihin four points of 18th place and with fellow strugglers Portsmouth the visitors to the Cardiff City Stadium after this match, there is a real opportunity to kick-start their season.
On the other hand, Plymouth Argyle supporters can be pleased with how Wayne Rooney has taken to live at Home Park, picking up 11 points from his opening nine matches.
Their home form has proven to be key with Sunderland, Luton Town and Blackburn Rovers all being beaten between the September and October international break.
Perharps the most impressive aspect of their performances is in defence, Plymouth only conceding more than once on one occasion in their last eight games.
Furthermore, their only two losses in five have been by 1-0 scorelines at West Bromwich Albion and Burnley, emphasising that this is a group of players who are competitive in every game that they are playing.
