Cardiff vs Southampton Prediction & Betting Tips - Carabao Cup
by Kennedy Kechula in Carabao Cup Predictions
After the tensions of the South Wales derby, Cardiff City will switch gears to the second round of the League Cup. Hosting Premier League side Southampton, Cardiff head into the game seeking their season’s second win. Read on for our prediction of this match.
This will be Cardiff City’s third home match this early in the season. They won one and lost the other but will want to build on their gains from the last game. Playing away to Swansea, The Bluebirds rallied late to secure a point in a 1-1 draw.
That result presented their first point in the Championship this season and it was the second time in four games that they avoided defeat. The first was in the initial round of this competition, when they blanked Bristol Rovers 2-0 at home.
Southampton haven't had a dream start to the season. After two rounds on their Premier League return, The Saints are yet to score a goal. They lost both matches by 1-0 score lines, most recently at home to Nottingham Forest.
In their last season in the Premier League, Southampton had a great run in the League Cup. They went all the way to the semi-finals before falling to Newcastle United in January 2023. They couldn’t, however, replicate this run last season, as they were dumped out in the first round by Gillingham.
The visitors haven't won a cup game away from home in the last four attempts and any jitters here will be justified. In the four matches, they lost three times. They scored only once in their last three away competitive matches.

Our Cardiff vs Southampton Prediction
Both Southampton and Cardiff City will welcome the distraction from their respective leagues, following poor starts. In four matches across all competitions, Cardiff’s only win was in the League Cup.
Meanwhile, Southampton come into their first League Cup game having lost both opening league matches and failed to score. Cardiff, like their visitors, haven't had a great scoring run. They failed to score in two of their four matches while Southampton are still in search of their first goal this season.
It is these numbers that have rendered the two teams’ matches low-scoring. Our prediction for Cardiff City v Southampton is for the game to have under 2.5 goals.
