Cardiff City - Burnley predictions

The 4.20 odds on a home win result mark the hosts as clear underdogs. Things are fairly lopsided, in fact, so backing such an outcome would be quite a longshot.

If everything goes according to plan and Burnley put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

The hosts recorded a slim Hull City win in the last Championship round. Following a stalemate in the first half, the home crowd carried Cardiff City forward and helped them score that extra goal that made all the difference in the end.

Burnley gave the fans at their home stadium quite a show in their previous game against Sheffield Wednesday, snagging a decisive 4:0 victory. The victory itself was somewhat predictable, but the first-half lead and notable lead speaks volumes about their form.

Cardiff City gans are hoping for better defensive performance then what they’ve seen in away games. The previous three matches featured 10 conceded goals.

Looking over the visitors and their recent history, we noticed they’ve scored more than 5 goals in their previous 3 appearances. This signals a consistent ability to score in most matchups, which is good news for their supporters.

The Clarets won the home game they played against Cardiff earlier in the season, and they did so with a notable goal difference. Winning this showdown as well would firmly establish them as the better team.

Both rosters have been impacted by an unfortunate string of injuries, leaving them with limited options. The favoured visitors will be short Aaron Ramsey, Jordan Beyer, Mike Tresor Ndayishimiye, while Ollie Tanner, Jak Alnwick, Jesper Daland will not play for the home team.

The 1.53 offered for Under 2.5 Goals bets in this match may seem a bit risky considering the market, but they’re well worth it compared to the probability of the outcome. That said, it’s a solid choice for value, but not necessarily safety.
