Cardiff City hosts Derby County in round 34 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Tuesday, March 2nd at Cardiff City Stadium (Cardiff)
Cardiff City has an eccentric owner. Vincent Tan combines impatience with ambition and a penchant for unexpected decisions. Managers rarely stay here. But on the other hand, the team's lineup is not bad and rather stable, so new mentors with the name usually respond to the invitation from Wales. A month ago, at the end of January, Mick McCarthy headed Cardiff. And under the management of the Irishman, the recession was immediately overcome (five defeats in the Championship and relegation from the cup). Moreover, the Bluebirds managed to win six matches in a row, which allowed them to get closer to the playoff zone. On Saturday, Middlesbrough managed to seal a draw at home thanks to a goal scored in the 82nd minute.

Derby County was failing this season - in mid-November, the ambitious club was languishing at the bottom of the standings. And having fired Koku, the bosses first assigned Rooney to act as an interim manager until they agreed with a new coach. However, Wayne seems to have seized his chance. And he not only spoke about the desire to train but proved that he was ready to do it, as his charges began to gain victories. As a result, Shrek became a head coach after the New Year, ending his career as a footballer. And he is doing well in the new role. After 32 rounds, Derby County has 38 points, which provides a comfortable lead from the relegation zone. Perhaps this relaxes the Rams. In the last three rounds, they beat only Huddersfield, lost to the ambitious Watford, and tied with Nottingham Forest last Friday.
The hosts have not lost in the last five head-to-head matches. The clubs won one time each, and there were three draws, including the last match in autumn (1:1). Cardiff is motivated because it has a chance to compete for promotion to the Premier League, albeit through the playoffs. We will bet on the victory of the Welsh over the middle peasants from Derby County.
Prediction for the match: Cardiff to win
