Friday evening brings us further action from the Championship as two former Premier League clubs go head-to-head with Cardiff City taking on Fulham as the betting tips continue at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Cardiff City Prediction – Can Cardiff continue home form?
Although Cardiff City have produced a mixed bag of results upon their return to the Championship so far this season, The Bluebirds will be looking to post a third home win on the trot this Friday night when Fulham make their way to Wales for this clash.
The hosts suffered a 3-0 defeat at home during the week against Luton Town in the League Cup, but Cardiff return to Championship action where they’ll be keen to make a good impression in front of the tv cameras on Friday night.
The Bluebirds have registered back-to-back wins in the Championship at their Cardiff City Stadium with victories over Luton Town and Huddersfield Town, both by 2-1 margins and therefore possess a 100% record on home turf prior to this encounter.
However, results at home against Fulham haven’t always gone the host’s way, but the goal markets look appealing here; 8 of the last 9 encounters between Cardiff and Fulham have seen both teams score.
Forwards, Vassell, Hoilett and Bogle will be looking to get on the scoresheet on Friday night.
Fulham Prediction – Can Fulham put pressure on top two?
Friday night’s visitors, Fulham, suffered a second defeat on the trot during the week when they were bundled out of the League Cup by Premier League side, Southampton, and this result followed last weekend’s 2-1 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest at Craven Cottage.
It’s back to the serious business of picking up points in the Championship though on Friday night and Scott Parker will be desperate for his side to return to their recent winning form which saw The Cottagers pick up 3 league wins on the trot in the second tier.
Wins against Blackburn Rovers, Huddersfield Town and Millwall have helped lift Fulham up into an early top six position and they’re just 4 points adrift of early pace setters, Leeds United and Swansea City who are both sitting on 13 points apiece.
Therefore, all three points in Wales on Friday night would see Fulham jump into 3rd place and move within a point of the Championship leaders. However, with just 2 away wins out of their last 22 away matches in all competitions, it may be best to look at the goal markets for this clash.
