Head coach Steve Law makes six changes to his starting 15 who were victorious at the Lextan Gnoll last time out.
At hooker, Alun Rees replaces Joey Tomlinson who drops to the bench. Both Rhys Barratt and Freddie Barnes replace Christian Brooke and Cam TylerGrocott at tight-head and loose-head.
After coming on early last time out, Ioan Pascoe comes into the starting lineup at blindside as Craig Hudd replaces Tom Rice at number eight.
Steve Law makes two changes to the backline with Harrison James moving back into the starting 15 as he replaces Luke Pollock at outside centre. Tom Habberfield replaces Jamie Hill at scrum-half and will also captain The Blue and Blacks.
Both sides met earlier in the season at the Dunraven Brewery Field where The Blue and Blacks ran out 37-32 winners. That was Cardiff’s first away win of the season.
On that occasion both Harrison James and James Beal score their first tries of the season. Whilst Dewi Cross was also one of the try scorers with Will Davies-King securing a bonus point win.
Cardiff come into this game on the back of two impressive bonus point wins against Ebbw Vale and Neath away from home.
Bridgend will be coming into this game on the back of winning their first game since the end of November after putting aside Pontypridd 15-13 last week.
With this strong start to 2024, The Blue and Blacks sit in fourth place on 47 points and are now eight points clear of Pontypool who sit in fifth place. Whilst, Bridgend sit in ninth place on 32 points after only winning six games this season.
