Cardiff City
- Cardiff City FC have been the class of the League One table all season, racking up 63 points from 30 games and leading the league by a considerable margin.
- The Bluebirds have remained solid in their last two games, notching a win and a draw, and their home form has been exceptional with 12 wins, one draw, and just two losses from 15 home matches in the third tier.
- Ollie Tanner has been in excellent form in recent matches, registering six assists and scoring in the last five matches, but the most clinical player in the team is Yousef Salech, who has 12 goals in 27 League One appearances this season.
AFC Wimbledon
- AFC Wimbledon are 14th in the table on 38 points from 29 league games, a respectable but ultimately mid-table campaign.
- The Dons are compact and well-organised, sitting deep and creating a strong base in defence before transitioning forward quickly and pressing selectively.
- They beat Reading 3-2 at home in League One last time out, but fell to a disappointing 2-1 home loss to Northampton Town in the EFL Trophy.
- AFC Wimbledon have won two consecutive away games, but their overall away record in League One is six wins, two draws, and seven losses (W6, D2, L7) from 15 matches.
Head-to-Head
- Cardiff City are undefeated in their last five League One encounters, with three wins and two draws.
- Cardiff City are winless in the last H2H game, so Wimbledon could have a psychological edge on the night.

- Yousef Salech - the team's most clinical finisher with 12 goals in 27 League One appearances this season.

Prediction
