Match Facts
Cardiff City are unbeaten in their last nine league games against Birmingham City (W6 D3) since a 1-0 defeat in October 2017.
Birmingham have won none of their last 10 league visits to Cardiff (D3 L7) since a 2-1 win in September 2008.
Cardiff City have won six of their last nine Championship matches at home (D1 L2), keeping a clean sheet in four of those six wins.
Wayne Rooney has lost all of his five away league matches as Birmingham City boss; should he fail to win against Cardiff he would become the first Blues boss to fail to win any of their first six away league matches in charge of the club since Steve Cotterill in December 2017.
Excluding penalties, Cardiff have scored more Championship goals from set-pieces (12) than any other side this season. Indeed, nine of the Bluebirds’ last 10 league goals have come from set plays (7x corner, 1x direct free-kick, 1x throw).
