Cardiff City will host West Bromwich Albion at Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2023-24 Championship campaign.
The home side have had mixed results this season but remain in contention to secure playoff football at the end of the campaign. They picked a 2-1 comeback win over ten-man Preston North End in their last game with Karlan Grant and Ryan Wintle getting on the scoresheet deep into additional time to secure a last-gasp victory for the Bluebirds.
Cardiff City sit seventh in the league table with 27 points from 17 games. They are two points and two places below their midweek opponents and will leapfrog them with a win on Tuesday.
West Bromwich Albion are playing well at the moment after a rather slow start to their season. They beat high-flying Ipswich Town 2-0 in their game on Saturday with Darnell Furlong heading home the opener just six minutes after kickoff before Grady Diangana doubled the Baggies' lead early in the second half.

Cardiff City vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction
Cardiff's dramatic win last time out ended a run of back-to-back winless outings and they will now look to kick on from that this week. They have lost just one of their last seven home games and will fancy their chances ahead of the midweek clash.
West Brom, meanwhile, have won four of their last five games after winning just two of their previous eight. They have, however, struggled for results on the road this season and may have to settle for a point here.
