Cardiff vs Sheffield Wed Lineups, Team News, and Match Preview

Cardiff

The Welsh team lost two games in a row and both with the same 2-1 score. Cardiff's defense has been problematic conceding in every game the team played this season. Ryan Allsop is injured while Mahlon Romeo is suspended for this weekend's clash.

Potential lineup: Alnwick, McGuinness, Daley-Campbell, Collins, Goutas, Ralls, Wintle, Ramsey, Bowler, O'Dowda, Ugbo.

Sheffield Wed

After three rounds of matches, Sheffield has the worst record in the Championship. They are the only team that lost all three games thus far with a goal difference of 3-7. Mallik Wilks and Ciaran Brennan are out with injuries.

Potential lineup: Vasquez, Diaby, Iorfa, Palmer, Famewo, Diaby, Byers, Bannan, Delgado, Musaba, Gregory.

Player to Watch: Ike Ugbo

The biggest summer signing of Cardiff City is Ike Ugbo, the 24-year-old Canadian striker who arrived on loan from Ligue 1 side Troyes. Ugbo didn't take a very long time to prove his worth after netting a couple of goals in three appearances this season with a single assist on his record as well. The London-born player has craved a chance for first-team football and he got that chance with the Welsh side.

Even though he is only 24 years old, Ugbo already changed plenty of clubs. He started his career at Chelsea's academy but never got a real chance of first-team football. He later played all over Europe before settling at Troyes. Ugbo has been capped by the Canadian national team eight times without getting on the scoresheet.
