Cardiff vs Sheffield Wednesday Betting Tips

This has the potential to be a good contest between two sides with play-off ambitions this term. Cardiff are currently in the top six but only just and it is Sheffield Wednesday who are currently putting the most pressure on them.

These two sides have virtually identical records so far this term. Both clubs have won 7, drawn 8 and lost only 4 times in the Championship and they are only separated by the fact that Cardiff’s goal difference is superior by just a single goal.

The winners of this one will end the day in the top six and although the bookies can barely split them, Cardiff look the more likely. They seem to be over their troubles in front of goal, netting 3 times in a win at Bolton last weekend and their home form has been strong with 6 wins from their last 9 at the Cardiff City Stadium and only one visiting side has won at the ground so far this term.

Sheffield Wednesday are an improved side but they are no world-beaters and it is hard to see them having enough quality to go away and win at a place like Cardiff and they have only won 1 of their last 6 matches in all competitions.

Therefore backing Cardiff at 5/6 in the ‘draw no bet’ market looks like a cracking punt here.

There isn’t likely to be much in the game given the two sides are fairly evenly matched so a 1 goal victory is most likely. The Owls will have a go, as they tend to do these days but if you fancy a correct scoreline bet, consider backing a 2-1 home win at odds of 9/1.
