Cardiff City and Derby County will seek to boost their survival hopes when they face off in the Championship this Saturday. Hosting this game, the Bluebirds sit 20th, one place above the Rams. Below is our preview and prediction for this match.
Cardiff City put in a solid performance to come from two goals down in their 2-2 draw with Millwall. That result placed them two points above the relegation zone.
It is the kind of performance that should inspire them in the fight against the drop. They are now unbeaten in seven matches, winning three, and have three wins in four meetings with Derby.
The visitors’ own relegation battle has suffered lately, as they come here on just two wins in their last 10 Championship matches. Derby’s last win in the league came on Boxing Day, at home to West Bromwich Albion.
Ahead of this game, they endured two straight home losses, the most recent a 1-0 outcome against Sunderland. That defeat marked six straight matches across all competitions without a win.
This run is inclusive of their elimination from the FA Cup at the hands of Leyton Orient. Derby will also carry attacking concerns to this game, having failed to score in four of five league matches.

Our Cardiff vs Derby County Prediction
Both Cardiff City and Derby County are in the thick of the relegation fight and this will be the highlight here. While both are placed low, Cardiff City will be favorites here based on their recent form.
Their visitors come here winless in the last six matches and have really been poor on the road. This fixture has also not favored Derby County, losing three of the last four and winning just once in seven. There’s a possibility this game will go in the same direction. Our prediction for Cardiff City v Derby County is that Cardiff City wins the match.
