Cardiff City will face Watford at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have endured an overall difficult campaign but have picked up important results in recent games and will continue their push to exit the drop zone this week.
They played out a 1-1 draw away at Middlesbrough in their last league outing, with Calum Chambers rescuing a point for the Bluebirds with his maiden strike for the club. They then beat Sheffield United 1-0 in the FA Cup on Thursday and will head into the midweek clash on a high.
Watford, meanwhile, have lost their way in recent games and are falling behind in the race for the promotion playoffs. They were beaten 2-1 by Sheffield last time out in the league before succumbing to a 4-1 hiding at the hands of Premier League side Fulham in the domestic cup last time out.
