    Cardiff City's current five-match winless run is their worst since they sacked Erol Bulut in September.

    The Welsh side have lost their past two at home, which followed a sequence of four successive victories at the Cardiff City Stadium.

    Preston North End are one of only four Championship sides yet to win away from home this season.

    • Cardiff have lost two of their past three league games against Preston, having remained unbeaten against the Lancashire side across their prior seven such meetings (W4 D3).

    • Preston have won just two of their past 14 away league games against Cardiff (D6 L6), failing to score in four of their past five such matches.

    • Preston have only won three of their past 24 away league games against Welsh sides (D6 L15), although one of those was at Cardiff last term (2-0).

    • Cardiff have lost both of their past two midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) league games, last losing three in a row in November 2022.

    • Preston's Paul Heckingbottom has won each of his past four Championship meetings with Cardiff (all with Sheffield United) since a 1-0 defeat with Barnsley in November 2017.
