Cardiff City - Sheffield Wednesday betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.20, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Sheffield Wednesday who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

A Leicester City defeat away from home at a game they expected to lose heavily is not exactly a big disappointment for Cardiff City. They managed to keep their rivals at bay for 45 minutes and only allow one goal to seal their fate after the break.

The away team are here after a close home defeat in their previous Championship matchup. Most bookies agreed that they were the underdogs going in, and the undecided first half didn’t change any opinions. Preston North End, the away team, ultimately took the lead in the second half and won the game 0:1.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

Saturday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

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 2.32, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
