West Brom v Cardiff

West Brom vs Cardiff Preview

West Brom were within a whisker of gaining back-to-back wins in the Championship on Saturday lunchtime when they led Ipswich Town 2-1 with just stoppage time remaining on the clock but The Baggies had to make do with a 2-2 draw after conceding a late equaliser, while Cardiff City slipped to a third defeat in four games following a disappointing 2-0 loss at home to Preston NE.

West Brom had previously registered a 1-0 home win against Birmingham City in the previous west midlands clash and despite failing to win at Ipswich Town, that point has nevertheless maintained the hosts' place in the play-off pack in the Championship.

The Baggies have lost just twice in their last seven games overall which came in the shape of defeats to the likes of Swansea City and Norwich City, both of which were away from home, along with picking up four wins within this seven-game sequence.

Victories over Norwich City, Leeds United, Blackburn Rovers and Birmingham City have produced impressive results for Carlos Corberan's side who remain sitting in fifth spot in the table and hold a four-point cushion over seventh placed Hull City

West Brom have lost just twice at home throughout the whole of this season's Championship campaign while The Baggies have also collected 10 wins within their 15 home games to date, so the hosts will be upbeat about their chances here on Tuesday night.

Cardiff City were dealt a third defeat in four games after Saturday's 2-0 defeat at home to Preston NE and although The Bluebirds recorded a 1-0 win away from home at Watford in the game beforehand, the Welsh club had also lost two previous games on the trot to Leeds United and Plymouth Argyle.

League wins and consistency have been hard to find for Cardiff City as the visitors have managed to collect just three wins out of their previous 10 games overall which came in the form of rare victories against Sheffield Wednesday, QPR and Watford, all of which were away from home.

Cardiff have also slipped to six defeats within these 10 games overall and this does not bode well for an upcoming visit of The Hawthorns where West Brom will be looking to secure an 11th win on home soil in the Championship.

The bigger picture shows Cardiff City have registered just six wins from their last 16 outings on the road which could spell further trouble for the Welsh club.
