Cardiff City Preview – Can the Bluebirds keep up fine home form?
Cardiff City have moved well clear of the bottom three after a string of good results since the turn of the year. The Bluebirds have won four of their last seven in the Championship and have suffered just two defeats in the past month.
On Wednesday night, Cardiff were minutes away from ending Huddersfield Town’s incredible unbeaten run. However, two late Terriers goals gave Carlos Corberan’s side a 2-1 win at the John Smith’s Stadium. The performance was another huge step in the right direction for this new-look Cardiff side, though.
The Welsh side are finally starting to get things right on their own patch, winning three and drawing one of their past four at the Cardiff City Stadium. Can Morison’s men keep the run going at the weekend?
Fulham Preview – Will the leaders leave Wales with maximum points?
Fulham opened a nine-point gap at the top of the Championship table after the midweek results. Second-place Bournemouth have two games in hand, but the Cottagers are 11 points clear of third in the race for automatic promotion.
Marco Silva has had a fine time in west London so far, guiding Fulham to 20 wins from 32 league games. Along the way, they have scored a staggering 81 goals and shipped just 29. The Cottagers look nailed on for an instant return to the Premier League.

Cardiff City vs Fulham Betting Advice
Goals from Tom Cairney and Aleksandar Mitrovic earned Fulham a comfortable 2-0 victory over Cardiff at the Cottage in October. That was the first meeting between the clubs since they squared off in the 2019-20 Championship play-off semi-finals, which Fulham won 3-2 on aggregate.
Key Facts – Cardiff City vs Fulham Betting Tip
- Cardiff have taken ten points from their last four home games
- Fulham are unbeaten away from home in the league since October
- The Cottagers beat the Bluebirds 2-0 in the reverse game
Cardiff have improved massively under Morison, and they have been tough to beat at home in recent weeks. However, Fulham are rolling their way to promotion to the Premier League, and we fancy Silva’s side to pick up all three points from Saturday’s visit to the Welsh capital.
Fulham cruised to a 2-0 win when the teams met at the Cottage earlier in the season, and you can get 8/5 for the London side to win -1 this weekend. The Cottagers have won without conceding on ten occasions in this season’s Championship. Back Fulham to win to nil again on Saturday at 7/4.
