Leeds United aim to return to winning ways when they face bottom-placed Cardiff City in a Championship clash. Cardiff have endured a dismal start to the season, losing four out of five games and scoring just one goal.
Leeds United will hope to return to winning ways next weekend when they travel to south Wales to face Cardiff City . The Bluebirds have endured a torrid time so far this time; they sit bottom of the Championship having lost four out of five games with just one goal to show from them.
Cardiff boss Erol Bulut avoided speaking with the press after his side’s fourth League defeat which coincided with the Bluebirds’ worst start to a season in 35 years. However, his assistant Omer Riaz stepped up to the plate, he told BBC Sport Wales: “When you talk about concern, obviously we’ve lost games and we’ve picked up one point so it’s not where we want to be," Riza told BBC Sport Wales.
But time may well be ticking on the Turkish manager’s tenure in Wales if he cannot muster a string of results in the next few weeks. Leeds will go into this fixture as favourites and will take confidence from last year’s 0-3 victory away at Cardiff which saw Daniel James, Patrick Bamford, and Georginio Rutter all contribute with goals to send the travelling fans home happy.
Although, next week’s game will not reach the extremes of previous years, both sets of supporters will love to have the bragging rights come 5pm on Saturday - a Leeds win may well give the Cardiff board a decision to make regarding their manager’s future.
