Bournemouth vs Cardiff Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu | in Championship Predictions
AFC Bournemouth are back to winning ways, a confidence boost ahead of their home game against struggling Cardiff City in the Championship. Ahead of this game, Bournemouth are top of the standings with 46 points while Cardiff are 20th with 22 points. Bournemouth are coming from a crucial 1-0 win away to QPR, their first win in seven matches, reigniting their promotion quest. It was just their third clean sheet in 10 matches and this is the one area they will want to improve on, as they have one of the best attacks. In the last seven matches, Bournemouth have one clean sheet and at home, they’ve struggled a bit in defence. They’ve conceded twice in three of their last five home matches and four of the five home games have produced over 2.5 goals. In their last home matches, Bournemouth suffered a 2-0 loss to Blackburn.
Cardiff are getting back to action after two postponements. They have been out since 11th December and will hope to build some momentum going into the new year. In their recent matches, Cardiff have established themselves as a good attacking side, but they still have issues in defence. They have scored two goals in five of their last six matches but they have no clean sheet in their last 10 matches. In their last six matches, Cardiff have failed to score in just one – the 1-0 loss to Hull City and five of their last six matches have produced over 2.5 goals. As they go into this game, Cardiff will be out to make their game in hand count; they are only three points above the relegation region and this can be a good chance to open up the gap. They did lose to Bournemouth earlier this season but they have two wins in the last four meetings with the league leaders and will be going for the kill here.

Our Bournemouth vs Cardiff Prediction
Cardiff have no clean sheet in their last five matches, but their scoring run is impressive. When their matches were halted, they had scored twice in five of six games. This is one quality they will carry to this game. Bournemouth have some of the best attackers in the Championship, and after their win in the last game, they’ll be keen to build on. They should be able to score in this game, and while most of their recent matches have been low scoring, we will back this one to produce over 2.5 goals.
