Cardiff City prepare for a key Championship encounter with Watford on Tuesday night, looking to rebound from a weekend defeat. The Bluebirds, sitting 21st in the table with seven points from nine games, welcome a Watford side also struggling for form.
Cardiff are expected to name a similar side to the one that lost 2-1 at Blackburn Rovers last Friday. In that match, Robinson scored a second-half consolation, assisted by top scorer Jack Moylan. Moylan has three goals this season and will be a key figure again.
Watford’s recent struggles
Watford arrive in Wales on a poor run, having lost four of their last five matches. Their most recent outing was a heavy 4-0 home defeat to Burnley, which followed losses to Bristol City and Stoke City. Their only win in that sequence came against Preston North End in early September.
Cardiff’s recent form
The home side's own form has been mixed, with just one victory in their last five league fixtures. That was a 3-1 home win over Charlton Athletic, where Moylan scored twice. Since then, results have included a loss to Bolton and a draw with Stoke. Their defensive record shows 14 goals conceded against 11 scored this term.
This match represents a significant six-point battle in the lower half of the Championship. Both teams will view it as an opportunity to kickstart their campaigns. The game kicks off at 19:45 at Cardiff City Stadium.
