Match Preview: Cardiff City (H)

Blackpool take on Cardiff City at Bloomfield Road as they look to edge closer to survival in the Sky Bet Championship.

The Seasiders will be keen to avenge Lancashire derby defeat against Mick McCarthy's former side with the Bluebirds looking over their shoulder in the table.

Cardiff come into the game following a 99th minute defeat to rivals Swansea City.



One to Watch - Ryan Wintle:

A familiar face to Seasiders following his loan spell at Bloomfield Road last campaign, Wintle will be a key player in the heart of midfield for Cardiff City.

Wintle has established himself with the Bluebirds after initially being out of the picture with two goals and three assists to his name in the league so far this season.



The Manager - Sabri Lamouchi:

Lamouchi is Cardiff's third manager of the campaign with Steve Morison and Mark Hudson both departing from the Bluebirds earlier in the campaign.

The Frenchman has had an interesting managerial career path with spells at Ivory Coast and Rennes behind him as well as English experience with Nottingham Forest.

The Referee - Josh Smith:

Josh Smith has taken charge of 28 games so far handing out 121 yellow cards and four red cards so far this season, with the majority of his games in the Sky Bet Championship.

Smith last took charge of the Seasiders in the 0-0 home draw with Rotherham United, whilst he is also remembered for taking charge of Blackpool's 1-1 home draw with QPR last season.

Team News:

Gary Madine is out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury, whilst Jake Beesley will also miss the remainder of the campaign.

I don't know what to say other than how sad it all is.

The players will have to pick themselves up and go for 6 wins in the remaining 6 matches.
