We said: Cardiff City 1-1 Blackpool

Both teams are in desperate need of maximum points in South Wales on Saturday with the losers of this match likely to be sitting in the relegation zone on Christmas Day, a position that would fail to put either set of supporters in a festive mood. Cardiff showed their attacking capabilities on the road at Stoke last time out but a leaky defence may cost them three points against a Blackpool side who simply need to start picking up results.
