Cardiff City Preview – Can the Bluebirds seal a massive three points?

Cardiff City reached the play-offs last term, finishing the regular season in fifth place. Boss Neil Harris, who took over in October 2019, did a superb job in his first season in charge of the Welsh side.

However, things have been far different for the Bluebirds this term. City find themselves languishing down in 15th place at the halfway point. Cardiff have picked up just eight league wins, suffered ten losses and drawn five times.

Our betting prediction:
0-0 Draw
9/1

Bet at 22Bet

 

(odds taken 1532 GMT, Tuesday 19 January)

 
Harris’ men have lost four Championship matches on the spin and five of their last six. Last Saturday, league leaders Norwich City left South Wales with a 2-1 win.

After a horrid run of results, no less than three points will do for Cardiff on Wednesday night. Despite their poor form, the Bluebirds are the favourites in this one.

Queens Park Rangers Preview – R’s to leave South Wales with a point?

Queens Park Rangers are one of the more unpredictable sides in the division. Rangers have drawn nine and lost nine, winning just five times in the Championship so far. As a result, the Londoners are only five points above the bottom three in 20th place.

Rangers did not play last weekend, so their game was at Luton Town eight days ago was their last fixture. The returning Charlie Austin opened the scoring for the R’s, with Macauley Bonne doubling their advantage in the 89th minute. That was QPR’s first win since November.

Cardiff City vs Queens Park Rangers Betting Advice

On New Year’s Day in 2020, QPR thumped Cardiff 6-1 at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium. Rangers also won the reverse league meeting at home this season, edging a five-goal thriller in west London. Cardiff came from two goals down to level the game, but Dominic Ball’s wonder goal in injury time won the points for the R’s.

 

Key Facts – Cardiff City vs Queens Park Rangers Betting Tip

Cardiff will be out for revenge after losing their last two against QPR, but with neither side in good form, we can see the pair playing out a drab draw at the Cardiff City Stadium. Check out the tempting odds of 8/1 for the draw and under 1.5 goals.

Both teams have struggled in front of goal in recent weeks. This fixture usually produces a hatful of goals, but we can see this one being different. The 0-0 draw at 9/1 could be worth having a punt on.
