Cardiff City Preview – Bluebirds back to winning ways?
Cardiff City have picked up just one win from their last nine in the Championship, though that sole victory did come against fierce rivals Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium in March. Since then, City have lost two and drawn three, drawing with Blackburn Rovers, Reading and Brentford in their last three games.
The Cardiff City Stadium is so often a fortress for Cardiff, but the Welsh side have struggled with no fans present this season. City have picked up just 26 points on their own patch, winning seven, drawing five and losing nine.
Since arriving in the Welsh capital, Mick McCarthy has done an excellent job, even though the Bluebirds’ results have been poor in recent weeks. McCarthy took Cardiff from 15th all the way up to sixth, though their promotion bid faded in the end. Can they be a force to be reckoned with in next season’s Championship?
Wycombe Wanderers Preview – Another bad away day for the Chairboys?
Gareth Ainsworth’s Wycombe Wanderers are on their way back down to EFL League One after a tough season in the Championship. They showed signs of life lately, but the Chairboys have ultimately come up short this season.
Wycombe have really struggled away from home during their first year in England’s second tier. They have the joint worst away record in the league, collecting a mere 14 points from a possible 63. Wanderers have claimed just three away wins, although they have won one and drawn two of their last three on the road.

Wycombe let a 2-0 lead slip to draw 2-2 with Swansea in their previous away game, and this will no doubt be another tough day at the office in South Wales. The away win is currently priced at 11/2.
Cardiff City vs Wycombe Wanderers Betting Advice
Wycombe stunned Cardiff when the duo went head-to-head at Adams Park earlier in the season. The Bluebirds, who were managed by Neil Harris at the time, ended 2020 with a shock 2-1 defeat to Wycombe, with Ryan Tafazolli and David Wheeler getting the goals. That was the first meeting between the clubs since 2003.
Key Facts – Cardiff City vs Wycombe Wanderers Betting Tip
- Cardiff have won just one of their last nine games
- Wycombe have collected a mere 14 away points this term
- Wanderers are unbeaten in three away from home (one win, two draws)
Wycombe nearly picked up a stunning win at the Liberty Stadium in their previous away fixture, but two late Swansea goals saw them leave with just a point. That kind of performance and result sums up their season.
After three straight draws, Cardiff will be looking for a win this weekend. We fancy McCarthy’s men to be too strong on home soil for the league’s bottom side. Back the hosts to win -1 at 6/4. We also like the look of Cardiff to be winning at half time and full time at 7/5.
