Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

There's 78% chance of Cardiff and Swansea a maximum of 3 goals combined during this Championship match according to our predictive algorithm and, without a strong favourite in the WDW market, we think that's where the smart money should go. Calculations are made based on recent form, historical head-to-head (H2H) statistics and the view of the betting market, and you can back it at 1.29.
