<\/p>\n

6<\/strong> Olofinjana unable to turn past Robson, but Boro have nobody inside the Cardiff half when they hammer clear. That maybe says something about their ambition from this point in! They do, however, have a long time to sit on a 1-0 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

5<\/strong> What are Cardiff made off? We are about to find out. They have gone straight back onto the front foot, with Whittingham looking to cause Hoyte problems down the left.<\/span><\/p>\n

4<\/strong> Cardiff rattled straight away. Needless to say, the noise level has gone down. You wouldn’t have known there was a goal a minute ago, as silence greeted Lita’s header.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Goal\"3<\/strong> GOAL BORO – LITA. What a start for the visitors. Boro’s first real attack and they break the deadlock. A deep cross from McMahon picks out Lita and he diverts a looping header over Heaton and into the bottom corner.<\/span><\/p>\n

2<\/strong> Cardiff on the front foot from the off, but Whittingham and Burke are unable to pick out killer passes. Boro seem happy to sit deep and play there way into the game at their own pace. Bothroyd and Bellamy unfortunate to see a clever one-two end with the ball running out of play.<\/span><\/p>\n

1<\/strong> Great noise around the stadium as we get underway. Cardiff fans certainly don’t want to be forced into the lottery of the play-offs again this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cardiff get us up and running.<\/span><\/p>\n

The players are with us and we are almost ready for the off. The sun is shining in South Wales and we have perfect conditions for football, on a faultless playing surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Feedback\" Stuart Jones is in buoyant mood. He says: “Great timing to secure 3pts & pile pressure on Norwich later today. 3-0 to Cardiff!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Feedback\" Chris Cantle is hoping Boro can do Norwich a favour. He says: “I have a keen eye on this game as I’m a life long Norwich City fan. Cardiff are a strong side but i feel an upset is on the cards, come on Boro. Fair play to Cardiff if they win.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Feedback\" Abdullah Saif is keeping tabs on Cardiff’s progress with us evening. He says: “Well, I’m in Birmingham tonight and I wish I could see the game ….it’s a must win for Cardiff and I hope Norwich flop tonight too. I say Cardiff 1-0 and Bellamy to score the only goal, but we will see.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Today’s referee is Graham Scott.<\/span><\/p>\n

Middlesbrough team:<\/strong> Steele, Hoyte, McManus, Rhys Williams, Taylor, Thomson, Robson, McMahon, Smallwood, Lita, Emnes. Subs: Smith, Haas, Kink, Flood, Halliday, Grounds, Franks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Feedback\" Jordan P is first in with a comment. He says: “I really hope we can cause an upset but i think Cardiff will win. Come on Boro!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sky You can also bet in-play throughout the game at skybet.com<\/strong>. Cardiff start as 2\/5 favourites, with Boro 13\/2 and the draw 7\/2. You can get 9\/2 on Craig Bellamy to break the deadlock.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can Cardiff keep their top-two dreams alive or will Boro spring an upset? Who will be the stars of the show? Let me know your thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Middlesbrough may have endured a disappointing campaign but they have found form of late and will want to have their say in goings on at the business end of the division.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bluebirds are still chasing automatic promotion and will clamber back into the top two, for a few hours at least, if they prevail this evening. Defeat would open the door for Norwich to wrap up a place in the Premier League later on when they face Portsmouth.<\/span><\/p>\n

Welcome to the Cardiff City Stadium for our coverage of today’s Championship encounter between Cardiff and Middlesbrough.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
