Sheffield Wednesday - Cardiff City predictions

Sheffield Wednesday are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Cardiff City may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

The odds are stacked heavily against Cardiff City here, and we can’t see them winning this match. The Owls are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 3.84.

Sheffield W.’s previous Championship clash came down to a single goal making the difference. Sheffield W. held well for the first 45 minutes but did not have enough gas in their tank to push through the entire match. In the end, a narrow Sheffield United home defeat is what they will be looking to bounce back from this Saturday.

Although Cardiff City had the advantage of playing at home in the previous round, the game could have gone either way if top online bookmakers are to be believed. Rather than a close showdown, however, the game ended up being a complete rout for them. They fell behind early and eventually lost 1:3.

The first step Sheffield W. need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

The Bluebirds are displaying a sort of consistency in their away games, though not necessarily in a good way. The past two ended with 1 or 0 goals between them and the opposition, for example.

As far as any head-to-head stats are concerned, examples of recent clashes include a decisive victory Sheffield Wednesday secured last season. They walked away with a considerable goal advantage, which is in line with their current position as favourites.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.48 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as Pncl.
