Any Previous? Cardiff City v Latics

Latics and Cardiff City have met on 29 occasions down the years.

 

The first meeting came in Division 3, during the 1982/83 season, we travelled down to Ninian Park on the 11 September ’82 losing 3:2. We drew the return fixture 0:0 at Springfield Park in April 83.  

Of the 15 games between the two sides played in Cardiff, we have won 4 and drawn 7, only tasting defeat on 4 occasions, in fact only losing 1 of the last 10 games played away would suggest that it is a trip that we enjoy making.

Our last meeting came in the Championship in October 2022, a 1:3 defeat at the DW Stadium.

Player To Watch - Callum Robinson

Callum Robinson

27 year old striker, came through the ranks at Aston Villa but made his name at Preston, signed on a season long loan from West Brom in the summer.

A lively forward and very much a team player, 5 assists and 4 goals, including one at the DW Stadium back in October.
