An early Jordan Rhodes goal proved enough to condemn Cardiff to defeat last time out as they were beaten 1-0 by a struggling Huddersfield side. Steve Morison paid for that result with his job following three defeats in the club's last four league outings. Burnley's stock continues to rise under Vincent Kompany with the Clarets showing their character in a tense 2-1 home win against Bristol City. Saturday's visitors are now unbeaten in seven Championship matches and will leapfrog Reading into third place if they better their result this weekend. 0:2
There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 12 of Cardiff's last 15 games (Championship). Cardiff have failed to score in 5 of their last 7 matches (Championship). Cardiff have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 3 home matches against Burnley in all competitions. Burnley are undefeated in their last 7 matches (Championship). Burnley are undefeated in their last 5 matches against Cardiff in all competitions.
Mark Hudson will take interim charge of Cardiff this weekend and could revert to a 4-3-3 system for the visit of Burnley. That formation change will see Romaine Sawyers return to the side in midfield with centre-back Jack Simpson dropping to the bench. Expect Vincent Kompany to opt for an unchanged starting XI this weekend following an impressive display against Bristol City two weeks ago. Darko Churlinov and Charlie Taylor are both doubtful ahead of the trip to South Wales this weekend.
