Derby vs Cardiff Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Derby vs Cardiff predictions and betting tips for Sunday’s Championship encounter at Pride Park with an anytime goalscorer pick and match prediction included.

Derby’s promotion push is in danger of being derailed. They need to get back to winning ways but have a number of senior players out injured. The Rams haven’t been victorious in the Championship since February 3^rd and they face a tough task against in-form Cardiff. They’ve only lost once at Pride Park in 2018 and that came against in-form Fulham. The Bluebirds have been flying high and Neil Warnock’s side are going to be difficult to stop. They have won seven in a row coming into this game including notable victories over Bristol City and Middlesbrough.

Derby vs Cardiff Predictions

Although Cardiff haven’t had the trickiest run of fixtures, they haven’t dropped points in any of those games and they could take advantage of Derby’s poor recent form. If they are catch Wolves, they cannot afford to drop any points here and will be desperate to pick up all three. Cardiff are the only side who can match Fulham’s excellent form in the Championship and Derby were defeated here by the Cottagers. Only 10 senior players trained on Friday for Derby and that isn’t likely to help matters. The first of our Derby vs Cardiff betting tips is Cardiff to Win which is priced at 21/10 with Betfair.

Goals Tip

The hosts are struggling to defend and have conceded seven in three. They are likely to find Cardiff’s frontline hard to handle. Derby do offer a threat at the other end and Cardiff have only kept one clean sheet in four away games. Both Teams to Score is 10/11 with Ladbrokes and is the second of our Derby vs Cardiff betting tips.

Anytime Goalscorer Prediction

Originally signed as a full-back, Callum Paterson has impressed going forward and the 23-year old has found the net in each of his last three appearances. He’s scored four times since the beginning of February and has a habit of popping up in the right place at the right time. Callum Paterson in the anytime goalscorer market is priced at 21/4 with 888Sport and is the last of our Derby vs Cardiff betting predictions.

Derby vs Cardiff Betting Preview

Despite their poor recent form, Derby have been priced up as favourites and can be supported at 29/20. Cardiff’s recent run has seen them priced at 21/10 whilst it’s 12/5 for the game to end all-square. The latter is likely to be popular.

It’s expected to be a tight and cagey affair with Under 2.5 Goals priced at 4/6. Over 2.5 Goals can be backed at 6/5.

Matej Vydra’s early-season form has tailed off somewhat although he hasn’t been fully fit recently. He’s in double-figures for the season and is the favourite in the first goalscorer market at 5/1. Cardiff duo Gary Madine and Kenneth Zohore are next in the betting at 7/1.

All these odds are from Betfair.
