Sports Mole previews Saturday's Championship game between Cardiff City and Birmingham City.

Two sides sitting comfortably in mid-table go head to head this weekend when Cardiff City host Birmingham City in the Welsh capital.

Cardiff sit just one point and one place above Birmingham in 14th position, and the Bluebirds head into the weekend full of confidence following two impressive results against promotion-chasing sides.

After a 2-1 victory over Brentford last weekend, Russell Slade's side produced another fine display to hold Bournemouth to a 1-1 draw in midweek.

Following up good results has often been a problem for Cardiff this season, but a win could be crucial in boosting their hopes of a top-half finish.

Birmingham are currently on a four-match unbeaten run, but with just three wins to their name since the start of 2015, Gary Rowett will be keen for his side to find some form in the final eight games of the season.

When these two sides met in November, the strikers were misfiring as Birmingham settled for a goalless draw at St Andrew's.

Kadeem Harris is still suspended for Cardiff, and despite having Federico Macheda available after his own ban, Slade could stick with the same side that started the Bournemouth game.

Rowett has no new injury concerns to worry about, which means Demarai Gray is once again expected to provide the main support for Clayton Donaldson.

Cardiff:

Recent form: WLWLWD

Possible starting lineup: Moore, Fabio, Ecuele Manga, Morrison, Connolly, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Noone, Kennedy, Jones, Revell

Birmingham:

Recent form: LLWWDD

Possible starting lineup: Randolph, Caddis, Spector, Kiernan, Grounds, Davis, Tesche, Cotterill, Shinnie, Gray, Donaldson

Sports Mole says: 1-1
