City's U18s are in Professional Development League action as they take on Hull City.
The fixture will take place at Cardiff International Sports Campus on Saturday, September 12th, with a kick-off time of 11am.
PRE-MATCH | PEDRO ARAUJO
“It has been a really positive start to the season for both me and the team. Everyone has settled in well, we're all building as a team and every game is getting better. We've all bonded well and I feel like this season is going to go well too.
“All the players and staff have been brilliant since day one. Leaving Crystal Palace to join Cardiff City brought a completely new environment and it was a really big step, but the lads have welcomed me into the group. The coaching staff have been fantastic in making sure I understand the style of play and what is expected of me.
“It was really good to get on the scoresheet against Huddersfield and great to secure a win. That goal was a benchmark for me and am looking to build on that for the next game.
“Hull have won their last three games so I think it will be a tough challenge but if we play the way that we're meant to play and follow our coaches' orders, I believe we can secure a win. We need to keep our standards high and hopefully we can get a good result.
“Winning breeds confidence and after the Huddersfield result, everyone is buzzing. The togetherness and belief around the team is great and we are all pushing one another to keep our standards high.”

Goals from Gruff Evans, Jacob Norris and a first for Pedro Araujo, sealed the victory for City as they climbed into third place in the U18 PDL after three games.
