THE PREDICTION
An all-Championship clash between Cardiff and Preston is unlikely to generate much interest, but both teams will fancy their chances of progressing to the fourth round. The visitors head into this one in superior form having won both their opening two matches under the management of Ryan Lowe, whilst Cardiff in contrast have failed to win any of their last four games. Recent fixtures involving Cardiff are normally full of action at either end of the pitch, with both teams having scored in four of their last five. Combine that with each of Preston two wins under Lowe also seeing both teams score and the same outcome has to be backed in this one. In regards to who progresses on to the next round, the form book suggests that Preston should do enough, particularly with Cardiff not allowed to play in front of their own fans due to Covid-19 restrictions in Wales.
