Wrexham v Cardiff City : League Cup match betting preview, prediction and odds

Tue 28th Oct, 20:00 BST, Racecourse Ground, Wrexham, Racecourse Ground

Phil Parkinson welcomes Brian Barry-Murphy to the Racecourse Ground, Wrexham on Tuesday night, as their Wrexham and Cardiff City troops do battle in the League Cup. Our predictions for each betting market are based on the past 20 games each side has played (home, away and overall) with additional weight given to top teams. All the statistics and graphics are tailored for the betting market in question. Head-to-head statistics for this fixture are also given if there is some fixture history. Odds are provided straight from from leading bookmakers.

Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

Neither Wrexham or Cardiff are in the sort of form that would leave us feeling very confident in tipping a match winner, so instead we've gone for over 1.5 goals. The statistics show that both have form in this market, both individually and when going head-to-head. We're predicting there's a 74% chance of 2 goals or more.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Wrexham are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 44% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.05.
