‘ Cardiff City and Swansea City to go toe to toe I’

Cardiff City and Swansea City to go toe to toe in a South Wales Derby ‘friendly’ this weekend



Cardiff City and Swansea City will meet for the third time this season ahead of the restart of the 2019/20 Championship campaign.

WalesOnline can reveal Neil Harris' Bluebirds will lock horns with Steve Cooper's Swans in a behind-closed-doors friendly fixture this weekend.

The game will take place on Saturday and has been arranged to enable the two sides get ready for the restart of the Championship, which has been on hold since March owing to the coronavirus outbreak.

It will also give Cardiff and Swansea, who are each still firmly in the mix for promotion, the opportunity to become accustomed to a proper game with no fans ahead of the real business beginning the following weekend.

The Bluebirds and Swans are not disclosing the venue of the game, or the kick-off time, due to legitimate concerns from the police and authorities.

Harris' men are ninth in the table, two points behind sixth-placed Preston while Cooper's side are 11th, three points adrift of the play-off spots.

It has been confirmed that the Championship will resume on June 20, with Swansea's first post-lockdown match coming against Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium while Cardiff face league leaders Leeds in the Welsh capital the following day.

Good for both teams,should we hire a hot air balloon again like the Wolves game many years ago

No,it went down like a lead ballon.

So Drakeford will allow the two teams to travel a distance of more than 5 miles whilst I cannot see my son who lives just over the border. Nothing against the 2 clubs but it just goes to show system that is idiotic and inconsistent

I won’t be able to get online this weekend so can someone edit this for me accordingly-

Get in! Have that you Jack bastards. The blues are going up!!!

It was only a friendly the score doesn’t matter. Hopefully the lads will be a bit sharper for it. Bring on Leeds.


Cheers

It's never a friendly against the gypos young man

Unless we win 7 nil and have broken a few of there legs it's not a good result.

Of course I'm joking,

It will be a good exercise for us after no game in months.
