Cardiff City - Leicester City predictions

Kickoff starts at 20:45 on 29/12/2023 played @ Cardiff City Stadium refereed by John Busby

It would take a small miracle for the hosts to get to a stalemate this match, let alone win somehow. A quick look at the 5.00 price for a home win should be enough to tell you that, though.

Having a 1.70 selection on your slip can be a big boost to your potential winnings and with Leicester City largely expected to beat Cardiff City, you’d be wise to use it.

Cardiff City fans at Cardiff City Stadium had to contend with a rather second-rate showing. The match against Plymouth Argyle was a stalemate throughout the runtime, and neither side managed to get the upper hand. In the end, the game boiled down to a 2:2 draw.

Leicester are coming on the back of a disappointing 1:1 draw in the previous round. Although it was an away game, their fans were hoping for a more definitive result considering they went into the match as slight favourites and were in the lead at half-time.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

With 7 goals in their previous 3 Championship matches, Leicester boast some of the most prolific strikers of the league. Top online bookies are predicting another action-packed game.

This matchup tends to go the obvious way. By that, we’re referring to the previous instance when these two squads clashed in the current season. The Foxes walked away with a comfortable win.

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

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.93, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
