This is the first ever competitive meeting between Stevenage and Cardiff. Stevenage have won four of their last six league games when facing a side for the first time in the Football League (L2), though they did lose most recently against Birmingham in March last season.
Stevenage will be the second side Cardiff have faced for the first time in league competition this season, with the Bluebirds previously beating AFC Wimbledon 1-0 in August.
Stevenage have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three league games, last doing so in four in a row in February/March 2024.
Having been unbeaten in their first five away league games this season (W3 D2), keeping a clean sheet in four of those, Cardiff have now lost two of their last three on the road (W1).
