Match Facts:
Cardiff City have lost each of their last seven league games against Hull City since a 3-0 win in July 2020. Over that stint, the Bluebirds have conceded 17 goals in total.
Hull City have won each of their last three away league games against Cardiff City, and will be looking to win four in succession for the first time in the EFL.
Cardiff are unbeaten in their last five home league games (W2 D3); the Bluebirds had lost four in a row at home in the Championship before this.
Hull have lost each of their last four midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) league games, last losing more in succession from March 2013 to May 2014 (run of 10).
Hull have won each of their last three Championship games against Welsh clubs, including two against Cardiff (3-1 in April 2024, 4-1 in September 2024). The Tigers last won four league games in a row versus Welsh opposition in March 2017.
Louie Barry's a doubt for Hull.
Annoyingly, Hull have a pretty decent away record. The 8th best in the division.
And we have the 2nd worst home record in the division.
Cardiff are unbeaten in their last five home league games .Quote:

It has to be a 1 -3 loss and a melt down! Doesn't it.......?
I dont get the happy with a point talk.
We have to start winning. It's a team on the same amount of points as us and we are at home.
Let's attack Salech Ashford Alves Colwill possibly Ramsey and hopefully Robinson as an option as well.
Straight at them positively from the off.
We really need a win and if we play on the front foot we should get all 3.
Keep your stubs everybody, you'll need them after we beat Villa
My brother-in-law has kept all Hull ticket stubs over the last decade, home and away. You just never know...Quote:

My guess is that will depend on who is available - not a decision about the best formation to beat Hull.Quote:

Alnwick, Bagan and possibly Ng injured and Goutas suspended.
Maybe Daland and Chambers will be back, maybe not.
He’s out.Quote:

We certainly need a performance as Hull are doing very well away.
Not a must win game, but a win would go a long way to ensuring our survival.
I think, hope Hull are due a poor performance.
2-1 Cardiff
Listening to the CCFC phone in earlier, someone mentioned Horvath broke his finger in the warm up on Saturday. It doesn’t rain it pours.
Horvarth was on bench for the game. If he'd been In jured in warm up wouldn't he have been replaced by Turner?
Calm down. This is a CCFC message board. Everyone will be happy with 0-0 and playing the under 5s at Villa.Quote:

Cardiff City XI: Horvath; Ng, Chambers, Fish, O'Dowda; Rinomhota, Mannsverk; Ashford, Robinson, Willock; Salech.
Subs: Turner, Lawlor, Giles, Bagan, Robertson, Colwill, El Ghazi, Meite, Davies.
That's better than I was expectingQuote:

Willock needs to get his finger out his arse tonight.
It's going to be a really small crowd.
Guessing Hull bring ~1000, it’ll probably be announced as 17k-18k.Quote:

This is so big it is almost a 7 pointer!
Ramsey rested. Have I missed something.
Interesting to see Salah and Robbo, would like to Isaac off the bench.
Aha never mind then. Be lucky to hit 17kQuote:

WTF was the ref thinking there? That should have been a free kick to us!
