Cardiff City - Sunderland predictions

Cardiff City may come out on top this Friday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Sunderland. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.63 for the hosts to win.

With the betting odds being what they are, this match could still go either way. Still, the fact that Sunderland are generally the weaker team makes this match an uphill battle for them.

Cardiff will want to forget their previous Championship match as quickly as possible. They were trailing behind for the entire match, after conceding early in the game. Ultimately, a Swansea City away defeat ended up being quite an embarrassment.

Sunderland’s previous Championship match ended with a home draw against Queens Park Rangers. The 0:0 outcome was better for Sunderland than for their opponents, but fans are hoping for more decisive results in round 39.

The Bluebirds gans are hoping for better defensive performance then what they’ve seen in away games. The previous three matches featured 6 conceded goals.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Sunderland. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

Cardiff City already have a victory over Sunderland on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Championship, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.20 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as 1xbet.
