The Seasiders picked up a rare win in their last League One outing – overcoming Peterborough United at the Weston Homes Stadium to lift themselves off the bottom of the third tier.
They backed that up with a 1-0 victory against Scunthorpe United in the first round of the FA Cup at the weekend.
Ian Evatt will be looking to make it three wins on the bounce at the start of his Blackpool reign on Saturday afternoon, but it won’t be easy, with Cardiff currently sat third in the table.
Lee Evans will miss the fixture through suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the campaign against the Posh, while James Husband isn’t set to return this weekend despite training in the last few days.
Michael Ihiekwe will be in contention once again, just a few weeks on from being stretchered off against Wycombe Wanderers following an awkward fall.
