Cardiff City vs West Brom Prediction: West Bromwich Albion has enjoyed a streak of two consecutive wins

On Wednesday, Cardiff City Stadium will be the venue for yet another round of EFL Championship football, as Cardiff City prepares to host West Bromwich Albion.

Cardiff City’s Form

Although Cardiff City has experienced a challenging campaign overall, recent results have shown promise under the leadership of manager Sabri Lamouchi. However, their last game against Preston North End ended in a 2-0 defeat, where they conceded midway through the second half and lost a chance to come back after goalkeeper Jak Alnwick received a red card.

Cardiff City is currently positioned at 21st in the EFL Championship standings, having accumulated 38 points from 36 games played thus far. Despite their precarious position, they maintain a six-point lead over the relegation zone and will likely seek to increase that margin in their upcoming match on Wednesday.

Cardiff City’s possible lineup

Luthra; Ng, Kipre, McGuinness, O'Dowda; Wintle, Sawyers, Philogene-Bidace, Ojo; Etete, Kaba. 

West Brom’s Form

West Bromwich Albion has had a mixed bag of results this season, although they remain in contention for playoff football. In their last game against Huddersfield Town, they secured a 1-0 victory, with their renowned midfielder John Smith scoring the solitary goal of the game from the penalty spot in the first half.

West Bromwich Albion has accumulated a total of 54 points from 36 games played in the current season, which has earned them the eighth position in the league standings. The team will be eager to maintain their impressive form in the upcoming match and further progress up the table.

West Brom’s possible lineup

Griffiths; Furlong, O'Shea, Pieters, Townsend; Yokuslu, Molumby, Wallace, Swift, Albrighton; Dike

Cardiff vs West Brom expert tips

Cardiff City has achieved a triumph in three of their previous five fixtures, following a winless streak of 14 games. The hosts have secured victories in their previous two home matches and will be keen to prolong this winning momentum in their upcoming game.

West Bromwich Albion has enjoyed a streak of two consecutive wins, marking three victories in their last four games. However, their recent away form has been far from ideal, having suffered defeats in their previous five away matches. As such, they may find it challenging to secure a win in their upcoming match but we are backing them to come away with three points. Expect less than 2.5 goals in the game.
