After returning to winning ways in Week 4, the San Francisco 49ers now welcome the Arizona Cardinals, who head to California on a two-game losing run.
Beaten to last year’s Super Bowl title by the Kansas City Chiefs, the 49ers began 2024 with a win over the New York Jets – but then slipped to 1-2 after road losses to the Minnesota Vikings and the Los Angeles Rams.
However, Kyle Shanahan’s men improved to 2-2 in Week 4, earning their second home win out of two with a 30-13 victory over the New England Patriots.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals are 1-3 after four games of the new season, having gone down to the Detroit Lions and the Washington Commanders in Weeks 3 and 4.
Now in their second year under head coach Jonathan Gannon – in their first, they had the joint-second-worst record in the league – Arizona are bidding to return to the playoffs for the first time since 2021.
