Well this is the one fans have been waiting for, the local derby.
Surprisingly both teams are struggling at the foot of the table just above the relegation zone, one with a wise old head in charge, the other with an enterprising young coach.
Cardiff 3 wins in 11 matches, Swans 2 wins in 11 matches doesn’t make good reading though, Cardiff seemingly in worse form than us recently with five straight defeats.
We know in local derbies form goes out of the window so the outcome is hard to predict, although a draw is the most likely result.
Manager Mick McCarthy said "There were 25 goal attempts against two. It's bitterly, bitterly disappointing, but I was really proud of the performance today” after Cardiff had lost at home to 8th place Reading by the odd goal. Reading had previous lost to Derby in their last match.
Swans drew at bottom club Derby for their fourth goalless draw of the season and 9 goals in 11 matches tells the story.
Cardiff rely heavily on Kieffer Moore and his aerial prowess for goals, but as we saw in the Czech Rep v Wales game last Friday he is off form at the moment. However, at 6’ 5” he is a threat in the air and I wonder who of our back three will be marking him.
The match is live on Sky Sports next Sunday midday and SwansTV in dark market regions only.
For those that are going, you’ll need proof of a full Covid vaccination or negative test to gain entrance. Each fan will be able to obtain their NHS COVID-19 pass through the NHS Wales website
