The Wrexham vs Cardiff City clash promises plenty of intrigue as both sides look to continue their Carabao Cup journeys.
Cardiff, meanwhile, sit atop the League One table, having endured relegation at the end of last season. Brian Barry-Murphy’s rejuvenated side will be keen to move on from their narrow 1-0 league defeat to Bolton Wanderers. They entered the competition in the second round, thrashing Cheltenham Town 3-0, before dispatching Premier League opposition with a 2-1 victory 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 matches, something they will be eager to rectify.
Interestingly, this will be the first competitive meeting between the sides in recent history, as their previous encounters came in the Welsh Cup and lower-league fixtures. Neither has previously won the competition, though Cardiff did reach the final in 2012, losing to Liverpool on penalties at Wembley.
Which Welsh side will be celebrating on Tuesday night?
