In the third FA Cup round on Sunday (January 8), Cardiff City and Leeds United will square off at Cardiff City Stadium.
In their last five matches against the Bluebirds, the Premier League team has not lost, and they will try to break this streak.
On New Year’s Day, Cardiff couldn’t get back on their feet, losing 1-0 to Blackburn Rovers in the Championship. Since their 1-0 win over Sunderland in November, they have only drawn four of their last seven league games.
While Cardiff will try to get back on track and start their cup campaign on a high note, they have had trouble at home, where they have lost five games.
In the meantime, Leeds put on a strong performance, coming back from behind to draw 2-2 with West Ham United. However, they have lost twice in their last four games across all competitions. With 17 points from 18 games, Leeds is 14th in the Premier League.
