This is the first meeting between Cardiff and Watford at

This is the first meeting between Cardiff and Watford at the Cardiff City Stadium since February 2019 in the Premier League, a 5-1 win for the Hornets.


Watford are looking to win three consecutive away league matches against Cardiff for the first time since September 2007.


Cardiff are unbeaten in their last 11 league matches – all under Mick McCarthy – their best run since a 13-game stretch between January and April 2018 during their last Championship promotion-winning season.


Only Norwich City (33) have won more Championship points since Xisco Muñoz’s first game in charge on Boxing Day than Watford (32).



Cardiff’s Mick McCarthy last faced Watford in 2014-15 with Ipswich, completing a league double over the Hornets.
