Cardiff team news

Cardiff City head into the opener under the stewardship of Brian Barry-Murphy but have not made major signings over the summer, keeping faith with their existing squad. The team’s recent form has been underwhelming, with no wins in their last five matches and draws in their most recent outings, including a 2-2 result against Queens Park Rangers. Heading into this match, there are no widely reported key injuries or suspensions for Cardiff City’s squad, so the manager is expected to have a nearly full roster to choose from. The focus will be on established players to provide leadership and stability as Cardiff seek to reassert their strengths at home, where their record remains a bright spot.

Peterborough team news

Peterborough United, managed by Darren Ferguson, have also suffered a run of poor results with no wins in their last five matches and a 1-3 defeat to Leicester City most recently.

The club faces the start of the campaign with a squad that is also largely free of significant first-team injuries or suspensions. This allows Ferguson to rely on his regular core players, aiming to improve the team’s away performances, which have been inconsistent. However, with a full-strength lineup available, Peterborough will look to address defensive vulnerabilities and seek a better start to the new season.
