Cardiff v Burnley Betting Tips – Premier League, 30th September 4.00pm

Six games into the season and the Bluebirds have still not managed to collect a league win. So the pressure is mounting on them as they have just the two points on the board and are stuck in the bottom three. Burnley collected their first win of the season just last weekend and they will be looking for more momentum. Read our predictions for Cardiff v Burnley.

Cardiff News and Form

Cardiff have lost their last three league games now and are still looking to land their first win over the season. They have picked up just the two points in back to back 0-0 draws against Newcastle and Huddersfield earlier in the term. They are having problems putting goals on the board this season at this higher tier. With them having failed to score in four of their six games played the obvious choice here is to run at under 2.5 goals at 8/15 odds* (betting odds taken from September 27th, 2018 at 2:18 pm).

Cardiff have conceded heavily in their last three games, but they were tough ones against Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City. Cardiff are D1 L2 at home this season, scoring in just one of those games. An obvious Cardiff v Burnley betting prediction is both teams NOT to score.

Burnley News and Form

Burnley managed to land their first win over the season last weekend as they went out and hammered Bournemouth 4-0. They badly needed that as it ended a run of four straight wins for them. That was a rut that they were struggling to get out of but they did it in style. So they will be looking to see if they can build some momentum now. Away from Turf Moor in the top flight this season they are W1 D2, scoring in just one of those three games. Ashley Barnes is the top scorer for them this season with two goals, but neither were on the road. Burnley have scored just two away goals.

Burnley have scored 71% of their goals this season in the first half of matches and have conceded 60% of their goals before the half time break as well. They have been drawing 0-0 at halftime in two of their three away games this season. That has to be a reasonable Cardiff v Burnley prediction for a half time score. A 0-0 half timeis at 5/4 odds* (betting odds taken from September 27th, 2018 at 2:18 pm). Burnley are winless now in their last five road games in the top flight (D2 L3).

Cardiff v Burnley Head to Head

This will be the first meeting between Burnley and Cardiff since the 2015/16 Championship and the two meetings that term ended in a draw. Actually, five of the last seven games between the two sides have ended in a draw. Both teams have scored in just two of the last six.

Cardiff v Burnley Predictions

Burnley to win: Neither of these have been in great form but there should be a good opportunity for the Clarets here. They have at least shown a little bit more in front of goal than the Bluebirds have managed this season.
