Cardiff City vs Birmingham City top free betting tips
Wayne Rooney's Birmingham City makes the journey over to South Wales to face Cardiff City. Since Wayne Rooney's arrival, Birmingham has plummeted down the league table and currently finds themselves in seventeenth position having collected just one win in their previous five matches. Cardiff City enters this fixture having won their most recent match, a 1-0 win over Millwall.
Total goals prediction: Under 1.5 Goals
Under 1.5 goals is our first prediction for this match. Birmingham City are all over the place as things stand with no real style of play while Cardiff is a defensive unit that likes to defend first. They have scored just one goal in their previous three matches, conceding three times in that time. Safe to say Cardiff City games are never usually an entertaining goal-fest.
Both teams to score prediction: No
This prediction sees us put both teams not to score. With how defensive Cardiff are and the fact they are facing an out-of-sorts and out-of-form Birmingham side, we can not see both teams finding the back of the net. None of Cardiff's previous three matches has seen both teams score while Birmingham has failed to score in their previous two matches. The previous two league meetings between these two sides have seen both teams fail to score.
Correct score prediction: 1-0 to Cardiff City
For our final prediction, we have gone with the side from South Wales to take all three points with a narrow 1-0 victory. This prediction would heap even more pressure on Wayne Rooney from the Birmingham faithful after a very unsuccessful start to his managerial life in the second city. Cardiff has won all three previous meetings, two of which came by Cardiff keeping a clean sheet.
