Cardiff City will invite Burnley to the Cardiff City Stadium in the EFL Championship on Tuesday. Cardiff have won just eight of their 34 league games this season and are in 20th place in the standings with 36 points. The Clarets, third in the table, can reduce the gap between them and league leaders Leeds United to five points with a win here.
The hosts are unbeaten in their last three league games, with two ending in draws. They returned to winning ways after five games with a 1-0 home triumph over Hull City last week. Callum Robinson scored the only goal of the match in the 52nd minute. They met Aston Villa in the FA Cup fifth round on Friday and suffered a 2-0 away loss.
The visitors extended their unbeaten streak in the Championship to 21 games with a 4-0 home triumph over Sheffield Wednesday last week. Marcus Edwards scored in the first half while Josh Brownhill, Connor Roberts, and Manuel Benson added goals after the break.
