Form, Standings, Stats

Last Game: Preston 3-0 Burnley
Saturday, March 1 at 12.15pm in FA Cup

We said: Cardiff City 0-1 Burnley

Cardiff are likely to be difficult to beat considering their strong record at home, and Tuesday's game may be low scoring. Burnley will want to bounce back from their disappointing defeat against Preston, and if they find the back of the net first, it would be surprising if they lost their lead given their defensive performances in recent months.
