ℹ️ Team News: Cardiff City
In our view, The Bluebirds should line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one with Ethan Horvath, Perry Ng, Will Fish, Calum Chambers, Callum O'Dowda, Sivert Mannsverk, Andy Rinomhota, Chris Willock, Alexander Robertson, Cian Ashford and Yousef Salech.
📋 Team News: West Bromwich Albion
Thanks to a mainly healthy group, there is only the sole fitness problem for the West Bromwich Albion manager James Morrison to contend with. Josh Maja (Calf injury) won’t be playing here.
We are inclined to think that The Baggies seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, starting Josh Griffiths, Darnell Furlong, Kyle Bartley, Mason Holgate, Torbjørn Heggem, Jayson Molumby, Ousmane Diakité, Tom Fellows, Isaac Price, Callum Styles and Will Lankshear.
🔮 Prediction
We believe that West Bromwich Albion will manage to find the back of the net against this Cardiff City team, but it probably won’t quite be enough to avoid defeat.
Our selection here is for a very close game with a 2-1 win for Cardiff City at the end of this one. Let’s see what eventuates.
