Cardiff City desperately need points on Tuesday, Dec 29 at 9:00 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Birmingham City come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Cardiff City travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Birmingham City face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Cardiff City have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Cardiff City won 1–0.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Birmingham City a slight edge, but Cardiff City are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
