Cardiff vs Burnley Betting Tips

The Clarets are having a strong season and although they are in 5th place, they are only 2 points off top spot. They are unbeaten in 8 matches and have only lost 1 of their last 14. However they haven’t been hugely impressive in their last two matches, a 0-0 draw at Wolves and 1-1 draw at home to Burnley.

This is a tough game for them too. Cardiff are having a mixed season but at home they are quite a strong side. They’ve taken 10 points from their last 4 matches at the Cardiff City Stadium and have only lost 1 of their last 11 in South Wales with 6 of their last 8 resulting in wins.

They have beaten some good sides too in that run including 3rd place Middlesbrough and 7th place Reading so they won’t fear a Burnley side who are in that group of teams that are just above Cardiff right now.

Burnley are the bookmakers favourites to win this match but with the Bluebirds so strong at home, they may struggle to live up to that pre-match billing. Certainly Cardiff should be able to get something from the match and they look really good value at Evens in the ‘Draw No Bet’ market here.

There’s not likely to many goals in this one. There have been 2 or fewer goals in all of Cardiff’s last 8 matches with an average of only one goal per game in that spell. Burnley aren’t quite at their best right now and have only scored once in their last 180 minutes of Championship football so backing the home side to nick this 1-0 at 13/2 looks a solid bet here.
