Predictions

City win home crowd, leeds know we are there bogie team, but we should be right up for this, biggest game of the season for me, will make the 6 hour round trip.

Can’t see us beating them given our recent form and theirs. Call me pessimistic and people will say we are their bogey team (which in the main we are) but they have beaten us twice at the CCS in the last few years...

Difficult game but we'll edge it

Correct me if I'm wrong but have they beaten us in a league game twice in the past few years? I don't think so.

We lost two consecutive league home games against them in the last 3-4 years and a loss away in one of those seasons.

FOREVER BLUE

lets hope jazz stays injured in the nicest possible way, his replacment gets my vote.

Agreed and he leaves in May.

He has to go
Oh dear, how sad, never mind...

WTF are Connolly and Cunningham still doing here - get them off the payroll immediately, Vassell and RIchards are not far off the trap door either.. There is more dead wood in this squad than the local Scouts bonfire on fireworks night.

Slightly off topic but leeds away for cardiff fans was £39 for leeds fans to cardiff £23.

Ninian upper on sale as well , so looks like a bumper crowd

A draw would be a good result but I have a feeling they will be too good for us. 0-2.

Yep they beat us on the 3rd Nov 2015 at their place for the first time in 500 years. That was a horrible night. They then went to win the next 2 games against us at our place by 2-0 on each occasion.

Tickets released in upper tier, bumper crowd, come on surely a 30,000 home crowd

Bumper crowd to see a home win

Match Odds

Cardiff City v Leeds United

Cardiff City - 16/5
Leeds United - 17/20
Draw - 5/2

End to end game and 3-2 Blooooobirds

Us 3 agree...Leeds 2 NO. We need 3-0 and the other three above lose then we go 6th

Leeds have sold their 2,400 allocation

Ref is David Webb. Did our loss at Wigan and the 1-1 draw with Millwall this season.

At least it’s not the dwarf Stroud or the porker Hooper.

Match goes ahead with supporters allowed to attend

No chance of a win v these lot we will need a 90 minute performance which we rarely achieve. Just cannot see it

The ray of sunshine strikes yet again cheer up mate

Undoubtedly it will be off. Expect it to take place in May or June after the Euros are postponed for a year.

Make sure your Netflix subscription is up to date as you won’t be watching much sport for a couple of weeks. The rugby tomorrow will be the last major event for a while.

Confirmed off
