Match preview

One of the headline fixtures of the upcoming Championship weekend is set to play out at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday, April 1st.

The matchup in question will see Cardiff City play host to Swansea City, in the latest edition of the South Wales Derby.

Beginning with the former, Cardiff, for their part, remained embroiled in the thick of the battle against relegation to the third tier of English football.

The Bluebirds currently find themselves sitting just three points clear of the drop zone, owing to both Huddersfield Town’s shock victory at Millwall last time out, and their own drama-filled trip to Rotherham leading into the international break.

Sabri Lamouchi’s troops, in turn, were left feeling altogether hard done-by, denied what could have proven a vital 4th win in seven by some ‘questionable’ efforts on the part of the grounds staff in south Yorkshire.

The fact remains, though, that Cardiff remain in need of points, in the club’s ongoing bid to stave off relegation.

And who better to secure as much at the expense of than their fiercest rivals?

Swansea, for their part, will make the short trip to Wales’ capital fresh off a timely return to winning ways last time out.

Owing to a stretch of five defeats in six leading into mid-March, the Swans found themselves ever closer to being dragged into the relegation scrap, too.

In turn, a deserved 2-0 downing of Bristol City, owing to goals on the part of Liam Cullen and Olivier Ntcham, could not have come at a more fitting time.

Russell Martin’s men, as a result, have put a full ten-point buffer between themselves and the bottom three, now sitting comfortably in 16th.

And yet, we at 101 nevertheless find it tough to back Swansea to ultimately get the better of their Welsh neighbours this weekend.

Instead, hosts Cardiff should be considered narrow favourites, albeit with an eventual sharing of the spoils looking a potentially fruitful bet, too.
