The clash between Wrexham and Cardiff City promises plenty of intrigue as both teams look to continue their journeys in the Carabao Cup.
Cardiff, meanwhile, sit top of the League One table, having suffered relegation at the end of last season. Brian Barry-Murphy’s rejuvenated side will be eager to overcome their narrow 1-0 league defeat to Bolton Wanderers. They entered the competition in the second round, thrashing Cheltenham Town 3-0, before dispatching their Premier League rivals with a 2-1 win at Burnley, thanks to goals from Joel Colwill and Callum Robinson. The Bluebirds, however, have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four away games, something they will be keen to rectify.
Interestingly, this will be the first competitive meeting between the two teams in recent history, with their previous meetings coming in the Welsh Cup and lower league matches. Neither had won the competition before, although Cardiff reached the final in 2012, losing to Liverpool on penalties at Wembley.
Which Welsh team will celebrate on Tuesday night?
