Cardiff was taking the second spot for a big portion of the season. Being third now, a point away from the second, requires them to win here
Cardiff is currently taking the third position in the Championship with 79 points in 44 games, one point away from the second spot. Let me remind you that the second spot in the Championship gives you a direct promotion to Premiership, while spots 3 to 6 play a play-off. Their home record reads W12 D7 L3, scoring 41 goals in those games and conceding 22. The team has scored 16 goals this season in the first 15 minutes of the match, more than any other team. In the last 10 home games Cardiff has recorded 5 victories, 4 draws and 1 loss and can be mad only at themselves for letting the second spot slip.
Middlesbrough takes the 16th spot in the Championship, 2 fixtures before the end of the season. The team needs nothing out of this game, as Boro has 56 points in 44 games, 14 points away from the relegation zone, and 16 points away from the promotion zone. Middlesbrough recorded 4 victories, 3 losses and 2 draws in the last 9 visits. The first game this season between both teams ended 1:0 in favor of Boro as a host.
Both teams have met only once on this stadium, which was last year, a match that ended 1:0 in favor of Cardiff. With only two games away from the end of the season, including this one, Cardiff must make sure both are won, and hope in the same time that the second team Norwich trips somewhere.
As the difference between both teams is so fragile, only a point, every mistake will be crucial.
