Cardiff City: 

Cardiff City will host Sunderland at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday afternoon, both teams eager to make strides toward Premier League promotion. The Bluebirds, under the guidance of Erol Bulut who recently signed a new two-year contract, are looking to build on their midtable finish from last season. Cardiff's primary goal is to bridge the gap to the top six, with hopes pinned on the experienced Aaron Ramsey and the new signing Wilfried Kanga to deliver crucial goals.


Sunderland :

Sunderland, recovering from a disappointing 16th-place finish last season, will be led by new manager Regis Le Bris, who takes charge after his relegation with Lorient. The Black Cats, rejuvenated by Jack Clarke's continued presence and a solid pre-season, including a draw against Marseille, will be aiming to restore their former glory. The match represents a fresh start for Sunderland, as they seek to return to the top tier of English football.


Prediction:  2-1
