Cardiff Form

Two draws were the best Cardiff could manage in the previous three matches. They drew 0-0 with Queens P.R., before sharing the points in a 0-0 draw against Coventry. Their most recent match brought a 1-0 defeat against Blackburn. Cardiff only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Cardiff City Stadium in the FA Cup. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored nine and conceded 14 goals.

Leeds Form

Leeds claimed two points from their last three matches. They started by losing 1-3 at the hands of Manchester City, before drawing 0-0 with Newcastle. They secured a point in their latest encounter, a 2-2 draw against West Ham. Leeds came through their last six away games in the FA Cup without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew zero and lost six in which, they were outscored by 11 goals to two.

It seems both Leeds and Cardiff have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues on Sunday, and we are rooting for goals.
