Cardiff City - Burnley tonight - Only 7 to go

It was a great victory over play-off rivals Derby for Cardiff City in front of a record attendance at the Cardiff City Stadium and the Bluebirds have only lost twice now in the last ten games. How many times over the years the club has call for the fans to rally around only to be disappointed but Saturday the club, management, team delivered for the fans.

Derby’s defeat at Cardiff on Saturday saw than drop to sixth in the league table and now just two points ahead. The bogyman in the room is goal difference, which could be telling at the end of the season if it stays tight for a play-off place.

There is a full fixture list tonight with Cardiff making the tough trip to top of the league Burnley not the kind of fixture you want with seven games left and in need of points. Burnley have not lost at home since early December but have drawn a few games so is a draw the best we can expect. Cardiff will make the trip north in a buoyant mood after the win on the weekend and hopefully it will push them on to bring home a win and three points.

Second place Middlesbrough face Huddersfield but they are eleven points ahead of Cardiff and fighting it out for an automatic promotion place. Brighton are also chasing a top two finish and visit the midlands and they could help us out by denting Birmingham’s play-off hopes as they have a game-in-hand.

Hull visit Derby both looking for a maximum three points out of tonight’s game a win for Hull would see them also do us a favour. Sheffield Wednesday are home and face mid table Blackburn still three points ahead of Cardiff after their win at the weekend. Ipswich have a home fixture with relegated Charlton both still with plenty to play for Ipswich for a play-off place while Charlton are looking to beat the drop to Division 2.
