Norwich City vs Cardiff City match prediction 03 May 2025

Norwich City and Cardiff City have not had their best performances in their last six games, resulting in winless results. Therefore, I expect both teams to perform in their last match of the season, even though the visiting team can not escape League One relegation. Therefore, I expect both teams to find the net, while I expect more than two goals to be recorded. However, considering both team's previous matchups that ended in a draw against their opponents, I think there will be an aggressive play since their defence will not want to give up easily, and I expect the officiating officer to give out caution cards.
