BRENTFORD V CARDIFF CITY

When: kick-off Where: Tuesday, March 13, 7.45pm, Griffin Park, Brentford Odds: Brentford win 6/5, Cardiff win 2/1, Draw 23/10 Key Men Ryan Woods (Brentford): The diminutive Woods is Brentford’s midfield metronome, keeping the Bees buzzing from his deep-lying position in front of the back four. He may only have one goal and three assists this season, but he does all that vital, unseen work. Junior Hoilett (Cardiff): Who else? Hoilett can consider himself very unlucky not to have scored in the 3-2 win over Birmingham, missing a huge chance towards the end and having a strong shout for a penalty rejected. His creativity from the left flank is a massive asset for the Bluebirds. What the managers have said Dean Smith: “It was always going to be a stiff period with the re-arranged game. We put in a good performance at Millwall and should have got the three points there.

“If we get more of that then we have every chance of going and beating Cardiff.

“They are on a great run, being six matches unbeaten, so we know how tough it is going to be.” Neil Warnock: “Brentford have had more shots than anybody. They don’t change, whoever they’re playing against.

“They attack you, they’ve got good inter-movement, a good crowd down there and a good atmosphere.

“Smithy has done a really great job there.” Probable teams Brentford (4-3-3): Bentley; Dalsgaard, Mepham, Bjelland, Barbet; Woods, Sawyers, Mokotjo; Watkins, Maupay, Jozefzoon. Cardiff (4-3-3): Etheridge; Manga, Morrison, Bamba, Bennett; Damour, Grujic, Paterson; Mendez-Laing, Hoilett, Zohore. Referee: James Linington
