Cardiff City host QPR in the EFL Championship looking to bounce back from a defeat to league-leaders Norwich City in their last match.That loss to Norwich means that Cardiff have racked up five losses in a row, and need to arrest the slide to avoid being dragged into a relegation battle.They lost 2-1 in that game, with Marlon Pack getting sent off in the 70th minute. They went down early in the game to goals from Todd Cantwell and Grant Hanley. However, Joe Ralls pulled a goal back before Pack got sent off.Cardiff are still 15th in the Championship standings, and have 29 points from 23 games. They are still 10 points clear of the relegation zone, but they could easily get dragged into that battle if they do not improve their form soon.📺 Neil Harris' press conference from CCS is now available on @CardiffCityTV.➡️ https://t.co/19PQboDqLT#CityAsOne pic.twitter.com/yhrLwv0YDj— Cardiff City FC (@CardiffCityFC) January 16, 2021QPR played their previous game last Tuesday, beating Luton Town 2-0.
