A tight victory at Middlesbrough last weekend saw Cardiff remain second in the league table two points behind Wolves, level on points with Sheffield United. Now Cardiff have two home games to solidate their position with Millwall visiting the Cardiff City Stadium today and Ipswich on Tuesday night both currently in mid-table going into this week’s fixtures.
Millwall and Cardiff have a history and not many fans like Millwall who have a famous chant, "No one likes us, we don't care" which is about right. The last time the two teams faced off at the Cardiff City Stadium was back in 2014/15 season and after a 0-0 draw in the corresponding fixture at Millwall the Bluebirds lost 1-0.
Cardiff have the better current form over the last five games and will be looking for a better result than their last home game a 0-0 against Derby. Mid-table Millwall are yet to win away from home in the league so far this season managing a number of draws so they be looking for three points just as well as Cardiff. If you believe the bookies, the home team have the game sown up but when it comes to my team, I tend not to listen.
The likelihood is that Cardiff boss Neil Warnock will stick with the team that won last weekend against Middlesbrough. Cardiff will be without striker Kenneth Zohore and midfielder Aron Gunnarsson for the visit of Millwall.
Last night’s fixture between Leeds and Sheffield United had some bearing on Cardiff league position. Before the game Cardiff were level on 27 points with Sheffield and after their win tonight they jumped to top of the league pushing Wolves to second and Cardiff to third. Leeds remain fourth, and four points behind Cardiff. If Wolves lose today and Cardiff win the Welshman would top the Division.
Games that matter today
Cardiff v Millwall
QPR v Wolves
