Cardiff City travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham

Looking to end their run of six consecutive defeats in the EFL Championship, Cardiff City travel to Craven Cottage to face Fulham on Wednesday.

The hosts, on the other hand, picked up an impressive victory over Queens Park Rangers last time out and will be looking to keep the ball rolling.

Fulham bounced back to winning ways last time out as they claimed an emphatic 4-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers.

Prior to that, Marco Silva’s men suffered a humbling 4-1 defeat against Coventry City when they locked horns at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

With 23 points from 12 games, Fulham are currently third in the EFL Championship table, five points adrift of league leaders Bournemouth.

On the other hand, Cardiff City’s dire run continued last time out as they suffered a 3-0 defeat against Swansea City.

It was a sixth defeat on the bounce for Mick McCarthy’s men and this dire run is due to their frailties at the defensive end of the pitch, as they have shipped 22 goals so far.

With 11 points from 12 games, the Bluebirds are currently 20th in the log, three points above the relegation zone.
