Cardiff City host Hull City at Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday in the EFL Championship. The match was originally scheduled earlier this month but had to be postponed following Cardiff’s progression to the FA Cup fourth round.
Cardiff are winless in four league games this month, most recently dropping points in a 1-1 draw with Plymouth Argyle, finishing with 10 men. Their dip in form has seen them drop to 21st in the table, three points clear of the relegation zone.
Hull, meanwhile, are in a similar predicament despite their hard-fought 1-0 win over Sunderland last time out. The visitors are one place above the Bluebirds in the standings, ahead only on goal difference, having only won eight of 33 games.
