Cardiff City face a trip to Brighton & Hove Albion at Withdean Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bluebirds will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 14 and win only 6 of the 27 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in October 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides
Brighton & Hove Albion's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Seagulls have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Cardiff City's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The games have constituted a decent return of 9 goals for the Bluebirds, and 8 goals against.
Brighton & HA are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 10 points from 12 matches. Cardiff City's 15 points from 11 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
