Cardiff City prepare to entertain Crystal Palace at Ninian Park on Tuesday evening, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 9 of the 28 previous games, with the Bluebirds winning just 7.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ninian Park was less than a year ago, in October 2009, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
