Cardiff are away at Doncaster this weekend knowing a victory would put pressure on Norwich and Swansea who meet at the Liberty in a 5.20pm kick off.
With only seven games to go and a four point gap to overcome Cardiff really need to build on last weeks victory over Derby and hope to come out of back to back away games over the next four days with 6 points.
In other matches tomorrow we could see a break away in the play off places. Wins for Leeds and Reading away at Millwall and Forest respectively would see the top six break clear and open a six point gap with just six games to go. That would mean Reading winning for the 6th game in a row. Forest really need to address their slump.
At the bottom Scunthorpe have the unenviable task of hosting Q.P.R. Preston are away at Portsmouth and Sheff Utd host Middlesbrough.
