Cardiff vs Sunderland Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Kennedy Kechula in Championship Predictions
Sunderland’s season in the Championship will commence with an away match at Cardiff City on Saturday. Both teams will be hoping for a journey that will end in returns to the Premier League. Follow on for the match preview and our prediction.
Hosts Cardiff City finished 11 points off the promotion playoff spot last season. They won less than half of their league matches and will be eyeing an improvement. That will call for a good start, unlike last season when they got just a point from the opening three games.
Coming from a strong run in preseason, home fans will hope Cardiff carry that form to the Championship. They lost just once in their eight off-season matches, winning five. Additionally, the arrivals of Calum Chambers, Wilfred Kanga and Anwar El Ghazi will strengthen the Bluebirds’ quest.
Sunderland might take motivation from their scoring form in preseason but they were poor defensively. They played to just two clean sheets in the seven matches, while scoring in all.
There’s definitely some improvement to be made by new manager Regis Le Bris, who joins from relegated Lorient. This fixture has in recent meetings favored the away team and Sunderland will seek motivation from that. They will need all the good luck they can get, after finishing last season on a low.
The Black Cats lost their closing three matches without scoring. It was such a poor season that they wrapped it up just six points above the drop zone. They won only 16 of their 46 league matches and there isn’t much optimism around after a rather quiet transfer period. Ian Poveda and Alan Browne have arrived on free transfers.

Our Cardiff vs Sunderland Prediction
Sunderland won on their last visit to Cardiff City but a lot has changed since. They didn’t have a great finish last season and their preseason hasn’t been much better. Their hosts have made a number of key signings, as opposed to a couple of free transfers for the Black Cats.
The impression here is of a stronger home side and it tilts the scales in favor of Cardiff. Our prediction for Cardiff City v Sunderland is for Cardiff City to win.
