Rams hoping for first win
They're not so different these two, at least when it comes to home form anyway.
Cardiff might be flying on the road, but things haven't quite clicked at the Cardiff City Stadium.
At the same time, Derby have struggled to really make an impact anywhere so far this term, with no wins or draws at home this season.
Quizzed on his side's home form, Rams assistant Liam Rosenior admitted: "[On the poor home record] You can't look in the past, you have to look in the future. It's a really difficult time for everyone.
"Our home record last season was outstanding and we had 28,000 fans in. It goes to show how important the supporters are.
"It doesn't hurt anyone as much as me that fans can't be allowed in. But we need to focus on what we now do at home.
"I know Cardiff are a very, very good team at this level but if we perform at our levels we can win the game.
"We've got a big game against a good side on Wednesday. Neil Harris has done a fantastic job there, it's going to be a real physical challenge.
"I saw them play in the play-off semi-final at Fulham and they were really unfortunate not to go through to the final. They have got a physical element, long throws and set plays, but they've got Harry Wilson, they've got [Sheyi] Ojo, they've got really good wide players with quality.
"We know their strengths but I'm sure they know ours as well and they are in for a good game."
