Cardiff host Derby at the Cardiff City Stadium (Cardiff) in the 34th round of the Championship and the match kicks off at 7 pm (UK) on Tuesday, March 2. Read our reasons for Cardiff vs Derby prediction and betting tips.
Mick McCarthy’s unbeaten start to life at the Welsh club was extended to nine matches (W6, D3) after a 1-1 draw at Middlesbrough but that was not enough to climb back into the play-off zone as they dropped to eighth. The Bluebirds will be looking to regain their place in the playoffs when they host Derby on Tuesday evening. The Rams have turned their season around of late under a rookie boss Wayne Roonie, moving up to 18th and nine points above the relegation zone with a run of two losses in nine. The Rams have won six of those matches, though they had to settle for a point against East Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest last time out.
Cardiff's chances of achieving promotion have soared after a whirlwind few weeks which has seen them accrue twenty points in nine games. Just a few short weeks ago, the thought of even entertaining a Bluebirds promotion this season had seemingly been flung out the window. However, under Mick McCarthy, City are now on a nine-game unbeaten run, and only Paddy McNair’s late equaliser at the Riverside prevented Mick McCarthy’s Cardiff from winning a seventh straight match under him.
Having struggled with inconsistency under Neil Harris, the Bluebirds have found their rhythm under new manager Mick McCarthy, who has changed the fortunes of the club in relatively less time. Not only is he unbeaten since taking charge last month, but Cardiff have also won each of their last six games in a row prior to the trip to Boro, including four consecutive away games for the first time since 2013! After a vital 2-1 win at Bournemouth seven days ago, Cardiff are now two points from the Cherries in sixth, which is a testament to the new manager’s whirlwind start to life in the Welsh capital.
Meanwhile, the Rams have moved clear of the relegation zone, and despite the threat of relegation now not causing immediate concern, Rooney will stress to his players that they must remain focused in their bid to occupy a mid-table spot before the closing weeks of the season. The Rams have responded with six wins in their last nine matches (L2) and will feel disappointed with a point against one of their closest rivals Nottingham on Friday night.
However, that was ultimately a positive result, though, as County trailed to James Garner's strike for 50 minutes before Colin Kazim-Richards fired home a thunderous volley. Rooney's charges have taken 18 points on their travels this term, which is a similar record to Cardiff at home, with the Bluebirds having taken 21 points from a game more. Nevertheless, with Rotherham still possessing a game in hand over the Rams, Rooney will be wary of getting drawn into discussions regarding the future of his squad and their survival in the second division.

Cardiff meet Derby eager to get back to winning ways on Tuesday in order to climb back into the top six, while Derby could do with putting some further distance between themselves and the bottom three. Derby is with just one win in the last six Championship head-to-head meetings with the Bluebirds and a negative overall record with 6 wins to Cardiff’s 9 in the last 20 clashes between the sides. Both teams head into the midweek’s match after playing out a 1-1 draw at the Pride Park in the reverse fixture in October.
Cardiff have won back-to-back Championship games matches in Wales and we back them to continue their hunt for the play-off spot against the Rams.
