Cardiff News and Form
Cardiff are struggling to keep pace with the pack in the top flight this season. They return to action on a five-match losing streak. They have posted a D2 L6 record in the Premier League campaign, conceding at least two goals in each of those six defeats.
They have scored in just three of their eight fixtures as well, so nothing is working for them. They lost each of the three games in which they did manage to score. Can they get something going against a side who are struggling for form?
For Cardiff v Fulham predictions, both teams not to score in this one is at 11/10 odds* (betting odds taken on October 16th, 2018 at 6:18 pm). Cardiff are D1 L3 at home this season, having lost three in a row there. They have conceded ten goals in their last three home games.
A defeat in this one would see the Cottagers move six points clear of them, so the Bluebirds really need to produce something in this fixture or their already dire situation is going to be looking a lot worse.
Fulham News and Form
Fulham have that three-point advantage then over the Bluebirds. Fulham have achieved a victory this season, which was back at the end of August. They are on a five-match winless streak though now with a D2 L3 record. The issue with Fulham is their defence which has been wide open.
That’s a huge problem they need to fix because otherwise, their style of play is positive. They have shipped 21 goals in eight games, the worst record in the top flight but some distance.
The Cottagers have conceded at least two goals in all but one of their league outings this season. But the question is, will their defence get exposed by a Cardiff’s lightweight attack? Under 2.5 goals is the appealing option at even money* (betting odds taken on October 16th, 2018 at 6:18 pm).
Avoiding defeat could well be the order of the day in this one and it could, therefore, be cagey. Fulham have taken one point from four road games this season failing to score in their last two which were at Man City and Everton.
