Bristol City vs Cardiff Predictions

• Cardiff have lost four of their last five away games in all competitions
• Bristol City have seen under 2.5 goals land in four of their last five at Ashton Gate
• Under 2.5 goals has landed in eight of the last ten head-to-heads between this pair.

Lack of consistency sets up intriguing derby

Bristol City and Cardiff are separated by just four points in a congested Championship midtable, with both teams struggling to put together a consistent run of form.

A late run to the play-offs looks unlikely for either side but if they are to pull that off they will need to win games like this against teams around them.

Home advantage has been key in the recent head-to-heads between these two sides, with the home team winning the last four derbies, and that run could be set to continue.

Cardiff were 2-0 winners in Wales in October but Bristol City have steadied the ship recently, losing just three of their last ten games. The Robins will be hoping to bounce back from back-to-back defeats however and this tie could provide the perfect motivation to do so.

Bluebirds’ away struggles could be difference

Cardiff have been a solid midtable outfit this season but they have struggled on the road, losing nine of their 17 away matches. That has been particularly evident in recent weeks with the Bluebirds falling to four defeats in their last five road trips and they could be set for another here.

Don’t expect a high-scoring clash however, eight of the last ten derbies between these two have gone under 2.5 goals and the unders have landed in four of Cardiff’s last six.

The visitors have suffered two 2-0 defeats in their last five games and could be set for another.
