Cardiff vs Wolves: Preview and Prediction

Friday 30th November 2018

England Premier League
Friday 30th November 2018
Kick off at 8pm GMT
Venue: Cardiff City Stadium

Match Preview:

Even though we were promised many Friday night games in the Premier League this season, they have been few and far between, so it may come as a surprise to fans to find that there is one this week. And the match up is between two teams desperate for three points and a win.

Cardiff are 19^th and already this is looking like a campaign of battling for survival for Neil Warnock’s team. Last weekend they lost to Everton 1-0 but will be happier to return home where their last memory was of beating a good Brighton side 2-1.

A win for Cardiff would see them out of the bottom three and if they are going to survive it will be about how many points they can earn at home. So far that is 7 from 21 which is in no way good enough.

Wolves are in 11^th place and have double the amount of points of Cardiff with 16. But all is not well for the team who have been tamed in recent weeks. After a superb start to their Premier League campaign they have not won a game since October 6^th.

Last weekend was seen as the lowest point of the clubs season when at home in the same stadium where they drew against the champions Manchester City, they were defeated 2-0 by Huddersfield. They have won 1 game on the road in their last four matches coming into this encounter.

Team News:

Cardiff: Kenneth Zohore (calf injury) and Ashley Richards (hamstring) will both be assessed ahead of this game. Both had hoped to be back earlier but there have been delays.

Wolves: The squad is almost full with only Jonny Otto being unavailable with a knee injury. If all goes well the Spanish international is due back in the Christmas period

Cardiff vs Wolves Head to Head:

Last time the teams played Wolves managed to win 1-0 at this stadium.

Since 2008 Wolves have won just two times away from home against Cardiff.

4 out of the last 5 games has seen both teams to score.

Cardiff vs Wolves Prediction:

If you’re out of form and coming to Cardiff’s ground which will be a physical game in freezing conditions on a Friday night then that doesn’t read for good news. That is why we will side with the home team to get a win but also cover the draw for extra security. Cardiff will struggle this season no doubt but at home they have been picking up some points recently and they face a team in Wolves who are in very bad form and low on confidence. Callum Paterson has scored a few goals at home for Cardiff in recent games and so it is odd that he is such a good price at 4.00’s to score anytime during the game and we should pounce on that price.

Cardiff vs Wolves Betting Tips:

Draw no bet (Cardiff) at 2.50

Anytime goalscorer: Callum Paterson at 4.00
