The friendly match between Cardiff City and Bristol Rovers will take place on Tuesday at 7:30 pm IST.
Cardiff City aims to continue their undefeated record during their pre-season preparations as they take on Bristol Rovers in a friendly match on Tuesday afternoon. In the past week, the Bluebirds have defeated two teams from the Welsh Premier League and secured a draw against Cambridge United. On the other hand, Rovers will make the trip across the border as they prepare for another League One season.
Under the guidance of Erol Bulut, Cardiff City has begun a new era with two victories against Welsh opponents at the Cardiff City Stadium. Their most recent victory came against The New Saints, a second-tier side bound for the Champions League, last Tuesday. After finishing in 21st place in the Championship last season, Sabri Lamouchi has been replaced by former Fenerbahce coach Bulut, who is managing outside of Turkey for the first time in his career.
Bristol Rovers are gearing up for their second season in League One after comfortably finishing in 17th place during their initial campaign back in the third tier since 2020-21. Manager Joey Barton’s focus is now on constructing a squad capable of challenging at the top of the table, with the ultimate goal of securing promotion to join their fierce rivals Bristol City in the Championship. In their recent match, Rovers secured a 2-0 victory over a National League team. Scott Sinclair and John Marquis both found the back of the net for the visitors at Silverlake Stadium.
Cardiff City probable starting lineup: Fisher, Thomas, B Cooper, Naughton, Wood, Lloyd, Allen, Grimes, O Cooper, Piroe, Cullen
Bristol Rovers probable starting lineup: Mikkelsen, Wikstrom, Alves, Wass, Larsen, Divkovic, Greve, Radosevic, Schwarta, Hedlund, Omoijuanfo
