Cardiff City vs Bristol City Preview
Cardiff City had to fight hard for the win against Ipswich in midweek, but they took the three points thanks to a goal from Kenneth Zohore. That win put them four points clear of 3rd placed Aston Villa, so they are in a great position for automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Captain Sean Morrison picked up an injury in the win against Ipswich Town and came off before half time. The extent of the injury is not clear, and he may still play on Sunday. There have been a number of injuries recently, with Traore, Bennett, Paterson and Peltier also suffering setbacks. Peltier is likely to be out for up to a month. Gary Madine started on Wednesday but was only able to last 45 minutes due to a lack of fitness.
Bristol City are currently holding on to the final play off place in the Championship and a win here would go a long way in helping to secure a spot in the top 6 come the end of the season. Their midweek fixture saw them claim a 1-1 draw against the team that are in 5th, Fulham.
Joe Bryan played a part from the bench against Fulham in midweek but is likely to start here. Gary O’Neil and Eros Pisano are both closing in on returns at some point soon, but will miss out here due to fitness reasons. Jens Hegeler, Callum O’Dowda, Milan Djuric and Matty Taylor will be missing through injury for the visitors.

Cardiff City vs Bristol City Prediction
This is a huge match not just because of a geographical rivalry, but in terms of looking for promotion to the Premier League too. Cardiff will go into the match as favourites and they will look to take their excellent form into this crucial contest.
The Bluebirds’ only defeat in the last 10 in all competitions came in the FA Cup against Manchester City, so not many sides have got the better of them recently. Only Wolves look better in the Championship, and Neil Warnock has a good record in getting teams promoted.
Bristol City will be very happy with how their season has gone and finishing in a play off position will be a great achievement. Lee Johnson has got his side playing some great stuff, though their recent form has only seen them win once in the last 10.
Cardiff are favourites and the tip is for them to get a narrow win here in what will be a hard fought game.
