Cardiff v Manchester City Betting Tips – Premier League, 22nd September 3.00pm
The Bluebirds are still struggling along looking for their first win of the Premier League season. They don’t look as if it is going to be easy to come by. They have taken a bit of a battering in their last two games, and there could be more trouble on the way this weekend. Manchester City make the trip to South Wales and the reigning champions are red-hot favourites for the win. Read our predictions for Cardiff v Manchester City.
Cardiff News and Form
Cardiff have collected just the two points for the season. That was from 0-0 draws against Newcastle and Huddersfield. They have lost their last two games though, shipping a total of seven goals combined against Arsenal and Chelsea. They are going to be the strong underdogs for this one on home soil as well as Manchester City come for a visit. We are going to look under 3.5 goals at 8/11 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 18th, 2018 at 6:35 p.m.) as we don’t see Cardiff getting the better of the Manchester City defense in this one.
Cardiff are D1 L1 in their two home games this season. In total across the course of the season home and away, Cardiff have come up with just the three games. They have been drawing at half time in their two home games but we don’t see that coming up in this one. Instead, a Man City/Man City half-time/ full-time option looks like a decent option to roll with at 8/15 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 18th, 2018 at 6:35 p.m.).
Manchester City News and Form
Manchester City have been scoring well as expected and they have netted at least goals in all but one of their league games this season. Last weekend they picked up a 3-0 win over Fulham and are just going about their business as usual. Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling are the joint top scorers for them this season. Sterling is a good anytime goalscorer option at 10/11 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 18th, 2018 at 6:35 p.m.). They have it in them to produce a great return, but they haven’t delivered powerful results out on the road so far.
In their away games so far they banked a 2-0 success at Asansol on the opening weekend of the season and then they were surprisingly held to a 1-1 draw a Wolves. Because they haven’t fired up big scores on the road and considering they played in midweek, a Manchester City 2-0 correct score option is at 11/2 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 18th, 2018 at 6:35 p.m.) which has great appeal for our Cardiff v Manchester City predictions. Plus the Citizens have netted exactly two-goals in their last two trips to Cardiff. There is also the sensible looking option of a Manchester City to win to nil option to support the Citizens with.

Cardiff v Manchester City Head to Head
Cardiff and Manchester City met back in January in the FA Cup and the Citizens banked a 2-0 comfortable win in South Wales. They have met before in the Premier League which was back in the 2013/14 season and they traded home wins on that occasion. Five of the last seven meetings have been over 2.5 goals.
Cardiff v Manchester City Predictions
Manchester City to win: Even though the Citizens had some extra work in midweek they are probably going to end up being too strong for Cardiff to contend with. We can only see an away win with a clean sheet happening for our Cardiff v Manchester City betting tips.
