Cardiff City prepare to entertain Nottingham Forest at Ninian Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Bluebirds are clearly on top, having won 12 and lost only 2 of the 20 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Ninian Park was just last season, in November 2009, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
