Cardiff City host West Brom at Cardiff City Stadium in the EFL Championship on Tuesday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.
Cardiff City have had an underwhelming start to their campaign. Mick McCarthy's side are currently 13th in the table and will be going into the game off the back of three consecutive losses. It is going to be a huge ask for them to take anything away from a high-flying West Brom side on Tuesday.
West Brom, on the other hand, are second in the league. Valerian Ismael's side will be going into the fixture following a 2-1 win over QPR last time out. They will know that a win could see them potentially go to the top of the table.
The Baggies will hope to take advantage of a poor Cardiff side with a win on Tuesday.
West Brom will know that this is a great opportunity for them to overtake Bournemouth at the top of the league table and should be confident of beating Cardiff City on Tuesday.
