Cardiff City vs Bristol City Prediction: Bristol can double over Cardiff this season

Cardiff City is set to host Bristol City at the Cardiff City Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday. Their primary objective will be to recover from their most recent setback.

Cardiff City’s Form

Following back-to-back home defeats, Cardiff made a resounding comeback by securing a victory against Reading in their most recent home game. Cardiff currently holds the 21st position in the league with 35 points after playing 34 games. Their performance has been lackluster, with only nine victories so far this season.

Cardiff registered a total of 13 goals against their visitors and, in turn, conceded 16 goals. Callum Robinson has emerged as the leading scorer for the team with five goals and six assists to his name. He is followed by O'Dowda with three goals and Romaine Sawyers in the third position with three goals as well.

Cardiff’s possible lineup

Allsopp; Romeo, Ng, Kipre, McGuinness, O’Dowda; Philogene-Bidace, Wintle, Sawyers, Ralls; Wickham.

Bristol City’s Form

On the other hand, Bristol recently suffered a significant defeat of 3-0 at home against the current Premier League champions, Manchester City, in the FA Cup. Bristol has won a total of 11 games in the league, out of which only three have been achieved in away matches. Their underwhelming performance this season has resulted in their current 13th position in the league table.

Bristol has successfully scored a total of 21 goals against their hosts while conceding 23 goals in return. Nahki Wells currently holds the position of top scorer for the team, having scored a total of 11 goals along with four assists. Following him is Tommy Conway with six goals and Robert Atkinson with four goals, securing the second and third positions respectively. 

Bristol’s possible lineup

O’Leary; Tanner, Vyner, Kalas, Pring; James, Williams; Sykes, Scott, Mehmeti; Bell. 

Cardiff vs Bristol expert tips

Although Cardiff's confidence has been boosted by their recent victory, Bristol's form has been consistently better, and they might be able to secure a win and claim all three points from the upcoming match. Bristol has emerged victorious in the previous three encounters with Cardiff, and they have the potential to secure another victory over them in the upcoming match, thus achieving a league double over their opponents for the second consecutive season. A draw can also be on cards. Given that both teams have previously scored more than 2.5 goals against each other, it is reasonable to expect the same in the upcoming match.
