Cardiff City face Preston North End at Cardiff City Stadium, Cardiff (Caerdydd) on Tuesday, Nov 24 at 8:45 PM in a basement battle that neither side can afford to lose. Both clubs are deep in the relegation picture in the Championship, and defeat here could prove costly come the end of the season.

Cardiff City come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Preston North End are struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), making this a relatively even contest on current form.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Cardiff City win or a draw looks most likely.
