The club friendly fixture between Cardiff City vs New Saints will take place at The Cardiff City Stadium on Wednesday at 12:00 pm IST.
Cardiff City will face Welsh opponents, The New Saints, in a pre-season friendly at the Cardiff City Stadium, marking the second time in three days that they welcome local rivals. Erol Bulut’s team has already started their preparations for the 2023-24 season with a 2-0 victory against Pen-y-Bont in their first warm-up game on Saturday.
Since their return to the Championship in 2019, Cardiff City has gradually slipped down the table. Under different managers like Neil Harris, Mick McCarthy, Dean Whitehead, and Mark Hudson, they went from playoff hopefuls to relegation contenders. Sabri Lamouchi narrowly secured their survival last season, finishing 21st, five points above the relegation zone. Now, Erol Bulut has taken charge, replacing Lamouchi. Their pre-season preparations began positively with a 2-0 victory over Pen-y-Bont. Bulut emphasizes the importance of a fun and bonding atmosphere within the young squad. Cardiff City will also face Cambridge United, Wycombe Wanderers, Bristol Rovers, and Porto in July. Their upcoming schedule includes a Welsh League Cup match against Cambrian & Clydach Vale, followed by a challenging Championship season opener against Leeds United.
The New Saints remain dominant in the Cymru Premier, winning their 15th Welsh championship title in the 2022-23 season. With 83 points and only one loss, they finished 21 points ahead of Connah’s Quay Nomads. The Saints also secured their eighth domestic double by beating Bala Town 6-0 in the Welsh Cup final. After ending their unbeaten run with a 2-0 loss to Linfield, they will face Macclesfield before their Champions League first-round qualifying tie against BK Hacken.
Cardiff probable starting lineup: Alnwick, Ng, Romeo, McGuinness, Bagan, Adams, King, Rinomhota, Tanner, Watters, Colwill
The New Saints probable starting lineup: Roberts, Davies, Astles, Hudson, Pask, Marriot, Clark, D. Williams, Canavan, Roscrow, McManus
