Cardiff City take on Preston in the Championship tonight

Cardiff City take on Preston in the Championship tonight, looking to return to winning ways after back-to-back defeats:

Cardiff are unbeaten in eight home league matches against Preston (W5 D3) since losing 1-0 in November 2004

The Lilywhites haven’t done a Football League double over the Bluebirds since 2004/05

The Bluebirds haven’t lost three league games in a row since September 2016, in a run of four defeats — that included one against Preston

Preston are unbeaten in their last eight Championship games (W4 D4), with only table-topping Wolves currently on a longer run without defeat (10 games)


Junior Hoilett has been directly involved in 12 league goals this term (six goals and six assists); already his most in a single campaign since 2011/12 with Blackburn Rovers (also 12).
