Cardiff vs Fulham Betting Tips

It’s been a mixed bag of results for Cardiff since they returned to the second tier. It was a summer of change in South Wales on the pitch, and the new recruits are understandably bedding in. The Bluebirds were involved in a fairly drab goalless draw with Blackburn last weekend, and they have won just two of their five matches so far. Both of those two victories have been at the Cardiff City Stadium, although both of them have been a single goal margin. They were also dumped out of the EFL Cup in midweek at the hands of Luton, with some fans describing their second round exit as “embarrassing”. It was a toothless display from Warnock’s men, and there is a worry that they have now failed to score in three of their last four games in all competitions. Robert Glatzel needs a goal to inspire some confidence, whilst none of the supporting cast has showed that they will be chipping in on a regular basis. On the plus side, the hosts have only lost one of their last 12 home games at this level, and they did beat Fulham 4-2 in their last meeting at this ground back in 2018. There have been 16 goals in the last three meetings between these sides at the Cardiff City Stadium, and the fans will be expecting another entertaining evening.

Fulham suffered their second defeat of the campaign last weekend as they went down 2-1 at home to Nottingham Forest. A Lewis Grabban double was enough to see off the Cottagers, who dominated the possession stats, but couldn’t find a way through a well-drilled Forest back-line. It was a frustrating afternoon for Scott Parker’s side, but they are unlikely to come up against similar tactics this time around. Cardiff are likely to open up the match, and that will be music to Fulham’s ears. They were also dumped out of the EFL Cup on Tuesday, being defeated by a single goal to Premier League Southampton. The XG numbers for Fulham have been relatively impressive this season, and they are probably creating enough chances to be challenging for promotion this campaign. The front three is deadly, and Tom Cairney has re-found his feet following a frustrating spell in the top flight. Despite back-to-back losses, there is very little reason to be concerned as they’ve faced two very good sides, and they should find this a little easier.

Both sides will be determined to get back to winning ways in this game, but it could be fairly tight. Cardiff aren’t convincing on current form, and they are lacking a real focal point in attack. Fulham are likely to be stronger at Craven Cottage this season (despite last weekend’s loss), and they may have to settle for a point in this game. There are always goals between these sides, and it could be another entertaining evening in South Wales. Cardiff tend to do their scoring late, so Fulham will have to maintain concentration throughout this contest. The draw at 12/5 looks the sensible play in this one.

Cardiff kept a clean sheet last weekend, but that came against a Blackburn side, who are one of the lower scoring sides in the division. They conceded against Luton here in the league, before shipping three goals to the Hatters in midweek. Fulham have goals in their side, but they also have yet to keep a clean sheet on the road. Both Teams to Score? Yes is short, but it’s worth backing.
