Cardiff registered only their 11th second tier victory of the season against fellow relegation-battlers Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Friday, thanks to first-half goals from Connor Wickham, Sory Kaba and Joe Ralls. Bluebirds’ home form this term has been a bit problematic this term, collecting just 24 points from a possible 60. Their sixth and last home-win in the Championship this term came against Bristol City through two unanswered goals from Sory Kaba and Jaden Philogene. Meanwhile, Cardiff secured a narrow 1-0 win over Sunderland in the reverse fixture in November last year, courtesy of Mark Harris’s effort early in the second half. It was their third consecutive victory against the Black Cats.
Sunderland, on the other hand, have the sixth-best away-record in the league this campaign, having recorded eight wins and six draws to pick 30 points from a possible 60 on the road. Tony Mowbray’s side were involved in a stunning eight-goal thriller on Friday, with the points being ultimately shared at the Stadium of Light, courtesy of goals from Joe Gelhardt, Amad Diallo and Jack Clarke. The Rocker Men are bidding to make it back-to-back promotions following their rise from League One last term, and they have not played in the Premier League since 2017.
Cardiff City probable starting lineup: Allsop, Ng, Kipre, McGuinness, Romeo, Sawyers, Wintle, Ralls, Wickham, Philogene, Kaba
Sunderland probable starting lineup: Patterson, Hume, O’Nien, Batth, Gooch, Neil, Michut, Roberts, Diallo, Clarke, Gelhardt
