THE PREDICTION
After a fantastic 0-1 away win at Bristol City in midweek, Middlesbrough have now gone five Championship games unbeaten, having not lost since the opening day. Neil Warnock’s side look rock solid at the back and despite a spate of injuries in attack, have still managed to find goals. Away to a Cardiff side strong in defence themselves, goals don’t look likely in this match. If there is to be a winner here, expect it to be by a single goal.
