Millwall could return to the top-six, with a game in hand on the sides above them, by claiming victory in South Wales this afternoon.
Gary Rowett’s side are, however, a different proposition on the road than they are at home, taking just 12 points from 13 away games in the Championship.
Though the Bluebirds know they cannot now be sucked into the drop-zone tonight, even with defeat, due to Blackpool’s game against fellow strugglers Huddersfield being postponed, they will be seeking to overhaul some of the clutch of sides just above them by claiming all three points in their first home game since manager Mark Hudson was axed.
