Cardiff vs Swansea City Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• The last 11 fixtures between these sides have ended with either side winning to nil
• Eight of Cardiff’s last ten games have seen either side win to nil
• Swansea have won just twice in their last eleven games

Cardiff fighting for survival

Cardiff City could pull themselves further away from the relegation zone with a win over Swansea in the South Wales derby on Saturday, with just three points separating them from the bottom three, but another three points separating them from 19th-placed QPR, who have worse goal difference than Cardiff. As a result, both sides will be scrapping hard for a win, as Swansea will want to ensure their bitter rivals stay as low down the table as possible.

Cardiff’s home form has been somewhat impressive of late, as they are unbeaten in their last three home fixtures, and average just 0.89 goals conceded when playing at home this season. Swansea, meanwhile, have won just twice in their last 11 games, and have failed to win any of their last five on the road.

The last 11 fixtures between these sides have seen either side win to nil, and with Cardiff showing better form, combined with their home record recently, they look the more likely side to tip this one. As a result, a prediction of Cardiff to win to nil looks good here.

Swansea could get caught up

Swansea look like they should be safe this season, currently sitting 16th in the league, and with ten points separating them from the relegation zone, but if the bottom three start picking up points in the scrap for survival, Swansea’s form will need to improve. Just two wins from 11 games will need improving.

Cardiff look like they might edge this one, with the potential of increasing their safety cushion from the bottom three a huge incentive, and their home form giving them the edge as they head into the derby. A correct score prediction of 1-0 Cardiff looks good here.
