Best Tip: Cardiff to win

A League Cup victory in front of their own fans for Brian Barry-Murphy's Cardiff side win in the win / draw / win market is our prediction. Statistics suggest they're in strong form across a number of key metrics, and they should have too much for their visitors. The odds from the bookmakers are pointing in the same direction, and when that happens you've know you're not going against the market. A Cardiff win is the bet we'd suggest, but it could be a close one.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Cardiff are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 65% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.48.
