Swansea City - Cardiff City predictions

The online bookies marked Swansea City as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Cardiff City winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The odds are stacked heavily against The Bluebirds here, and we can’t see them winning this match. Swansea City are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 3.90.

The previous round of the Championship saw Swansea City completely dominate Preston North End, right here at the Liberty Stadium. The matchup was relatively balanced, and the 2.06 largely attributed to Swansea’s home-field advantage. However, they grabbed an early lead and only increased the gap as the match progressed, eventually recording a 3:0 triumph.

Few were surprised by the away team’s 5:0 loss in the previous round, harsh as that may sound. They were up against impossibly long odds at 7.20 and were also the away team. For now, they should probably look ahead to more even matchups.

Cardiff City’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 7 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

As far as the recent history of this matchup goes, the records show a decisive victory by The Swans last season. They even secured a solid lead, which is part of the reason most bookies consider them to be the favourites in this matchup.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Josh Ginnelly, Andrew Fisher, Joe Allen. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Jamilu Collins, Kion Etete, Ryotaro Tsunoda, Isaak Davies, Anwar El Ghazi. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.87, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
