A narrow defeat followed by a narrow win, now Cardiff will be looking to build on the momentum of that victory over Luton in the trip to Reading.
Bookies thepools.com make them just about favourites to do just that.
But if you're planning a punt, make sure you read the best betting preview out there by the man who knows Cardiff inside out, Glen Williams .
Win, lose or draw?
Reading 0-1 Cardiff. Cardiff's back four looked relatively untroubled last week until they were caught cold by a set piece. Expect them to set up deep and hit Reading on the counter. The away win is 6/5 with thepools.com while the 1-0 correct score is an excellent 6/1 .
Who’s a good bet for first scorer?
Josh Murphy. Cardiff's most dangerous player against Luton but just couldn't find the back of the net. If he homes in his radar this week, he could be the man to score the goal. He is 17/2 first scorer with thepools.com and 16/5 any time.
Who’s on the naughty step? (first card)
Two games and two yellows for Murphy, one last week for simulation. It remains to be seen whether he has learnt his lesson or not.
Who’s on pens?
Joe Ralls, if he's fit (although the last four pens have been taken by four different people so it's anyone's guess!).
Will Cardiff keep a clean sheet?
Yes, so No to Both Teams To Score which is 10/11 with the pools.com .
