Bluebirds to gain revenge over Swans?
Okay, on paper at least the biggest shoo-in of the year is Cardiff City avoiding defeat in the return South Wales derby clash with arch-rivals Swansea City.
In the near 100-year history of this truly unique fixture the league double has never been done.
Name another derby where that's the case?
The Swans will be looking to change that, having seen the opportunity snatched away at the Liberty Stadium last season when the unlikely figure of Aden Flint popped up for Cardiff's winner to avenge a previous 0-2 home loss for the Bluebirds.
This time around Cardiff have home advantage, with their fans roaring them on, so the dice appear to be loaded their way.
Given Cardiff's struggles near the foot of the table this season, it could also be a hugely important match for them.
The Bluebirds were as bad as Swansea were good in the first game back in October and the likes of Kieffer Moore, Sean Morrison and Joe Ralls will want to put the record straight.
That was Swansea's best performance of the season. Can they raise themselves to those levels once more in the Welsh capital on April 2, or will it be Bluebirds revenge?
History tells us it's more likely to be the second of those.

Won't be any fans in the ground "roaring" the Bluebirds on if Comrade Drakeford has his way.
