Cardiff City and Preston North End will both seek to bounce back on Wednesday when they face off in the Championship. Only two points separate the sides, with Cardiff kept out of the relegation zone merely by goal difference. Let’s look at a few stats before offering a prediction for the match.

Hosts Cardiff have now gone on a five-match winless run, which has eroded much of the earlier gains. They twice led but could only draw 2-2 with Coventry City in the last match.

Having earlier picked 14 points in six matches, Cardiff have only managed two from the last 15 on offer.

Preston will come into this game hunting for their first win since mid-October. Back then, they picked up seven points from three matches. After that, they have managed just seven points from the nine matches that followed.

They do carry a four-match unbeaten run to this game though all of those were draws. Preston are yet to win a game in their last 10 outings, drawing seven times in the process.

They will be playing a second straight away match. In the last game, they seemed to be coasting towards a slim win, until Sheffield Wednesday leveled for a 1-1 draw at the end. This season, their away form reads one win in 10 matches.
