Colwill Confident in Outperforming Higher League Teams
Rubin Colwill is optimistic that Cardiff City will secure a victory against Wrexham in the EFL Cup. This match, set for Tuesday at Stok Cae Ras, marks the teams’ first encounter in over two decades.
Recent Successes Fuel Confidence
Cardiff’s recent win over Premier League team Burnley, with a scoreline of 2-1, has significantly boosted the team’s morale. Brothers Rubin and Joel Colwill, alongside teammate Callum Robinson, played pivotal roles in this upset, leading to heightened expectations for their next challenge.
Team Performance and Standings
- Cardiff City is currently at the top of League One.
- They are tied on points with Stevenage and Bradford City.
- Cardiff suffered their third league loss this season to Bolton, but spirits remain high.
Excitement for the Upcoming Match
The matchup against Wrexham is seen as a significant rivalry. Colwill noted that the extra emphasis comes from Wrexham being in a higher division. This adds intensity to their meeting, often referred to as a semi-derby due to the limited number of Welsh clubs in the English football system.
Wrexham’s Journey
Colwill expressed admiration for Wrexham’s recent accomplishments, acknowledging their positive impact on Welsh football. However, he reassured Cardiff supporters that these accolades will not affect their preparation or mindset going into the game.
