Cardiff were defeated in their midweek fixture and will be heading to the Saturday’s match with an aim to bounce from defeat, as they travel for the Championship fixture against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road.
The hosts who are seven points clear of Cardiff, are however hoping to avoid a fifth successive league defeat against the Bluebirds.
Luton Town failed to score for the third successive game as they played a barren draw away at Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.
The Hatters are now running winless in there last three Championship matches, making them to drop down to 12th in the table, six points behind the playoffs.
Luton have also had a hard time scoring at home against Cardiff, failing to score in each of their last three encounters with the Bluebirds at Kenilworth Road, including last season’s 2-0 loss in February.
Jones will be of high hopes his side can bounce back to winning ways this weekend before they face more challenging fixtures against Blackpool and Fulham.
Cardiff failed to record their third successive league win on Wednesday as they fell to a 1-0 loss to Hull city at home.
With the only shot on target, Keane Lewis-Potter scored in the 15th minute, and it was enough to humiliate the Bluebirds, who were forced to their 11th league defeat of the campaign.
The Bluebirds have now dropped down to 20th in the Championship standings, one spot behind Hull City on goal difference and just three points above the relegation zone.
A victory for the Bluebirds on the weekend would see them advance one place in the table – if Hull City were to drop points to Millwall – but they could move two points near 16th-placed Sheffield United, who they are going to face next in the Welsh capital.

Luton Town news
Goalkeeper Simon Sluga is likely not to feature, with James Shea set to start. Midfielder Luke Berry and Defender Reece Burke are a doubt due to injury.
Jones would make just a few changes, as Amari’i Bell could be recalled at the left wing-back instead of Fred Onyedinma, while Harry Cornick could start ahead of Admiral Muskwe at the front.
Cardiff news
Cardiff have no injury concerns and Morison is likely to name the same squad as of the midweek. Isaak Davies and Chanka Zimba are in contention to feature, with Mark Harris and Rubin Colwill also hoping to force their way into the starting XI and join Kieffer Moore at the front.
Prediction and Odds
Both sides head into this match having not scored in their midweek fixtures, however we can see them both scoring in the weekend.
Luton have struggled against Cardiff in the recent seasons, but they have preformed better in the Championship than the visitors. So, we can see at least a share of spoils for the hosts.
