History of the Wolverhampton Wanderers v Cardiff City fixture

Cardiff City face a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux at lunchtime on Sunday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Bluebirds will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2008, with Wolves running out comfortable 3 - 0 winners in a Championship match.
