Off the back of a terrible losing streak, Sheffield Wednesday travel to Cardiff City to play the fourth round of the EFL Championship. The fixture is scheduled to take place at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday, 26 August. The Bluebirds have also got the back of successive defeats against Leicester City and QPR in the second division.

Match result prediction: Draw

Sheffield Wednesday has lost all of the opening three games in the EFL Championship. Cardiff City are also without a victory in the same duration, losing two games against Premier League relegated sides Leicester and Leeds. However, the Bluebirds have also gone winless in the previous six league outings at Cardiff City Stadium, ending two in draws. Adding more, four of the last five H2Hs of these two sides at Cardiff City Stadium have finished with equal scores. Given the current performances, we predict Cardiff and the Owls to share the points again on Saturday.

Total goals prediction: Under 2.5 goals

All of the previous four H2H meetings between these two clubs have finished with Under 2.5 Goals. Cardiff City have found the back of the net four times in the starting three games in EFL Championship. On the other hand, Sheffield Wednesday have also scored just an average of one goal per game in the same duration. Both teams have not been much resilient at the back conceding multiple goals in at least two of the three league outings. However, given their current scoring forms, we predict a total of Under 2.5 Goals against Cardiff and Sheffield Wednesday.

Correct score prediction: 1-1 Draw

Cardiff City have netted the ball once in each of the previous two fixtures. The Bluebirds have also leaked just one goal in two of the last four league outings at Cardiff City Stadium On the other hand, Sheffield Wednesday have also scored more than once in only one of the previous four matches in EFL Championship and EFL Cup. Additionally, three of the recent four H2Hs of these sides at Cardiff City Stadium have concluded with the same scoreline of 1-1. In light of the current scenario, we can imagine the same scoreline to be repeated in this encounter.
