Millwall - Cardiff City predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Cardiff City are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Millwall should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The odds are stacked heavily against Cardiff City here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Millwall are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 3.75.

Millwall are coming off of a disheartening performance in the previous round. Most of that home match was a protracted stalemate, but a tiebreak goal in the second half made sure they went home empty-handed.

Top online bookmakers priced offered 2.86 odds on a home win in Cardiff’s previous game as hosts. Despite a mediocre first half, they pulled off a stunning 3:0 victory against Swansea City in the end.

Unspurred by the home-field advantage, Millwall ended both of their latest home games with less than 2 goals between them and the opposition. It’s safe to assume we won’t see a lot of action this time around either.

Millwall previously played this match as the visitors in a previous round of the Championship and suffered a fairly narrow defeat. Most bookies believe things will end differently this time, pricing a home win at 2.13.

Thankfully, The Bluebirds will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.20 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
