Cardiff vs Brentford Betting Tips

The good news for the Bluebirds is that they have re-discovered their goal touch. Having scored just 1 goal in 5 matches in October and early November, they’ve netted 8 times in their last 3 outings. The most recent of which was a home game with Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday when goals from Craig Noone and Anthony Pilkington seemed to have put the Welsh club on the way to 3 points and the top six. However the Owls scored twice in the 2nd half to level things up and Cardiff remain in 7th.

They are only 1 point better off than Brentford, with both clubs part of a tightly congested group of sides on the fringes of the play-off picture as we approach the half-way mark. The Bees, now under the management of Dean Smith, are unbeaten in 5 games and have only lost 1 of their last 10 so these are two fairly confident sides meeting here.

Goals certainly look likely judging by the recent games of this pair. Both teams have scored 2 or more goals in all of Cardiff’s last 3 matches. Meanwhile both teams have netted in 4 of Brentford’s last 5 matches so backing that to be the case again here looks good at 8/11.

This could be one of the better games of the night and it is certainly one of the hardest ones to call. City’s confidence will have been knocked slightly after their poor 2nd half display on Saturday, when they snatched a draw from the jaws of victory. However they have only lost 1 of their last 13 matches at Cardiff City Stadium so it is a tough place to go.

Brentford drew 2-2 at West London rivals Fulham on Saturday and all of their last 3 away games have ended in score draws. Therefore a repeat looks quite likely here and you can get odds of 12/1 for this to finish 2-2.
