Cardiff City - Sheffield Wednesday predictions

Cardiff City may come out on top this Saturday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Sheffield Wednesday. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.93 for the hosts to win.

A difficult match is ahead of The Owls. They have a big fish to fry but we’ve seen them do it in the past and it’s certain they can do it again.

The previous Championship round brought a morale-boosting away victory for Cardiff who managed to withdraw the first-half pressure and inflict a lethal blow in the second half to claim a Blackburn Rovers triumph.

The Owls are coming off of a disappointing 0:1 loss in the previous round. The first half of that match was one long stalemate, but their opponents Sheffield United broke the tie later on.

The Bluebirds will be looking to extend their current streak. They’ve recently recorded more than 7 consecutive games in which they’ve scored at least once.

The Owls fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 6 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

Looking at the head-to-head stats between these two squads, we see a tied game from an earlier round. This was a missed opportunity for Cardiff City, who should have had an easy time earning 3 points in a home game. They’re still the favourites, but their chances of winning the game are smaller than they were in that previous bout.

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

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.05 odds offered at 888Sport.
