Joe Ledley says he has been "excited" by the Bluebirds so far this season ahead of the South Wales derby this weekend.
Swansea City have the chance for five derby wins in a row on Saturday evening but neither side are heading into the encounter in great form.
Both sit at the wrong end of the table after frustrating starts to the season under new managers. Ledley, however, has seen enough from Erol Bulut to feel a sense of excitement ahead of the fixture
"You have got to give credit to Swansea," Ledley told the BBC.
"They have dominated the last few derbies and it's been disappointing from a Cardiff perspective.
"I don't think they have been on the front foot in the recent games, they have sat in too deep.
"But I have been excited with Cardiff this season. Yeah results haven't gone our way, we have been unlucky, but I have watched the first two home games.
"There is a lot of positivity around the stadium. Rambo (Aaron Ramsey) has brought in massive experience and that creativity as well.
"They are scoring goals which they didn't have last season. I think if we can just sort out the defensive situations, we are in for a fantastic game."
