That was once a faraway dream courtesy of a run of only three wins in ten games, but Russell Martin’s side have now bounced back with three straight wins.

Wins over Coventry City, Watford, and Preston North End have brought them within just five points of table-toppers Ipswich Town.

Southampton have played one game less than the Tractor Boys and third-placed Leeds United, and a win on Saturday would keep Southampton’s destiny in their own hands ahead of the home straight, with games against Leicester City and Leeds on the horizon.

As for Cardiff, a strong debut campaign under Erol Bulut is coming to a close on a disappointing note, with the Bluebirds now merely playing for pride, with a playoff berth now out of question.

Bulut’s side produced a passive display as they were thrashed 3-1 in London by a relegation-battling Millwall outfit.

Cardiff are 11th in the table on 59 points with three matches remaining this season, but even a mid-table finish would be an improvement on recent campaigns, where Cardiff fans have been left sweating for Championship survival.
