Cardiff City will host Plymouth Argyle at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side have had their struggles this season but remain hopeful of securing playoff football at the end of the campaign. They beat newly-promoted Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 in their last game, finding themselves a goal down at the break before a second-half own goal and Karlan Grant strike saw the Bluebirds turn the game around.
Cardiff City sit 10th in the league table with 33 points from 23 games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally come Tuesday.
Plymouth Argyle have had mixed results following their promotion to the second tier but remain on course to avoid the drop. They played out an entertaining 3-3 draw against 10-man Birmingham City in their game on Saturday with three different players getting on the scoresheet as the Pilgrims overturned a two-goal deficit.
The visitors sit 17th in the Championship standings with 27 points picked up so far. They are a comfort seven points above the drop zone and will be looking to widen that gap further this week.
