Cardiff’s home form has kept them alive, with 16 of their 22 points coming at their own stadium. And with four of their remaining six home fixtures, starting today, against teams residing in the bottom half, a result is needed here if they are to climb to safety. Hull are in a precarious position: win and they could be 10th but defeat would draw them towards the bottom three. Alan Smith
