Cardiff City Prediction
It was a successful Christmas period for Cardiff City despite their 5-1 mauling at the hands of Manchester United, as Neil Warnock’s side earned four points from the six on offer on Boxing Day and last Saturday.
The Bluebirds ground out a solid point in a 0-0 draw away at Crystal Palace before grabbing all three points with a 1-0 win at Leicester City as the Welsh club fully deserved the spoils after a lacklustre Leicester City performance.
Cardiff currently occupy 16th place and are three points above the relegation zone thanks to a recent home wins over Brighton, Wolves and Southampton, along with a useful home record which stands at 4-1-5 13/20.
With a view to this game’s pick, perhaps more important is the fact that Cardiff have covered the +1.75 asian line in 8 of their 10 home matches to date and looks a decent option for this clash with Tottenham.
Tottenham Prediction
Tottenham might just have seen their title ambitions go up in smoke last time out in the Premier League when they suffered a shock 3-1 defeat to Wolves at Wembley Stadium which ended an impressive run of five victories on the trot, and they now trail Liverpool by nine points ahead of this New Years action.
Despite this loss, Tottenham still possess a strong looking away record of 9-0-2 25/12 which includes seven wins from their last eight on their travels which has seen the visitors score 19 goals and concede 9 in reply.
However, Tottenham have beaten the +1.75 asian line in just 4 of their 11 away matches this season, and as we saw against Wolves, can be susceptible to complacency on occasion. Cardiff City have scored in 7 of their 10 home matches to date, so if Tottenham are to beat the handicap here, the visitors are likely to need to score 3 goals here I fancy.
Tottenham have scored 3 goals or more in just 3 of their 11 away matches this term.
Betting Tips Verdict
Cardiff will be on a high following the result at Leicester City and should at least avoid a mauling against a, dare I say, slightly wobbling Tottenham outfit here.
