Cardiff City - Leeds United predictions

A mere glance at the betting odds for this match should tell you most you need to know. A home win here is almost an impossible outcome, so it’s not very likely we’ll see solid betting opportunities in the 1X2 market.

The odds are clearly leaning in the away team’s favour, though the difference is by no means insurmountable. Cardiff City will have to give their all to come out on top, though, while Leeds United merely have to make sure not to make major mistakes.

Cardiff City’s confidence is soaring after a major breakthrough in their previous Championship game. Despite a very hard matchup against Queens Park Rangers and a home-field disadvantage, The Bluebirds secured an early lead and turned it into a narrow 1:2 victory.

Meeting Leeds in their home turf cannot be easy. Last round, they walked away with a convincing 3:0 victory against Birmingham City and three additional points on the scoreboard. With the odds of 1.26 the victory came as no surprise and they will likely show the same form as visitors.

The away team’s home game record shows a high rate of goal scoring – more than 5 in the previous 3 matches, to be precise. Although they don’t have the advantage of a home game in this showdown, their attackers are still determined to do well against Cardiff.

The Whites played against Cardiff earlier in the season and were unable to get anything better than a draw despite the home-field advantage. They’re not on their turf this time around, but that doesn’t change the fact that most bookies see them as the favourites.

Both teams will have a complete lineup for an exciting showdown, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.85, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
