Another big game tonight at the Cardiff City stadium with the visit of eighth placed Burnley back in the Championship after being relegated from the Premier League last season. Cardiff City boss will be hoping to continue the recent winning ways tonight against Burnley. The vistors are having a steady season so far in the top half of the Championship table. On the road they have not been to hot in the fifteen away games they have played to-date they have won only 20%, drawn 47% and lost 33%.
This game should have been played in December but it was called-off because of the snow. Tonight is a chance for manager Dave Jones and his team to open up some daylight (three points) between the Bluebirds in second place and third place Norwich.
Burnley have won there last two game beating Watford away on Saturday 3-1 and the previous Saturday seeing off promotion rivals Norwich 2-1 at home.
The importance of can be seen in the next three games – Saturday there is the tough trip to Nottingham Forest who after tonight will have two game in hand on all the clubs vying for a top six finish. Three points there would nullify the games in hand if both games were won, no pressure there then.
The next two are Leicester City and Hull City both with aspiration to get into a top six spot.
