How to watch Cardiff City vs Fulham EFL Championship play-off live and free in Australia
Cardiff City and Fulham, 2 teams only recently in the Premier League, try to get back there again through the play-offs.
Cardiff City's latest Premier League stint ended just 12 months ago, relegated after finishing 18th in the 2018/19 season. They finished this season strongly in the second tier, winning their last three matches heading into the play-offs.
From 2000 right through 2014, Fulham enjoyed Premier League status. They have had one more season at the highest level of English football since then, relegated alongside Cardiff in that 2018/19 campaign. Can they yo-yo to the top flight once more?

Who will win Cardiff City vs Fulham EFL Championship play-off?
Fulham finished a healthy eight points above Cardiff this season, but this still feels like a tough tie to pick. The Cottagers won the last clash between them 2-0 on 11 July. Both teams then finished off the regular season in solid form. We'll lean towards a narrow win for the Bluebirds in this match on Welsh soil.
