Cardiff vs Wolves Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Steve Ashfield | in Championship Predictions
The top two teams in the Championship are looking good at present for automatic promotion to the Premier League. Cardiff City are in second place, five points clear of Fulham in third and with a game in hand but they also have their eyes on winning the title. They trail leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers by six points with a game in hand so a win here would put them in with a great chance of going up as champions. The gap could have been closer if they hadn't been held to a draw by Sheffield United on Easter Monday and Wolves hadn't got a late equalizer against Hull the following evening. The draw with Sheffield United ended a run of eight straight league wins and Cardiff are now unbeaten in their last 13 league games since a loss to QPR on New Year's Day. Home form has seen them win their last seven league games and 11 of the last 13 so they are certainly going to give the league leaders a fight for their money here. However, they follow this game with a trip to fourth placed Aston Villa in midweek, a bad return from these two games might just put their automatic promotion hopes in danger, so it's a vital few days for the Welsh side.
Wolves had the chance to go eight points clear at the top of the table on Tuesday but were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Hull City. They led 1-0 but then trailed 2-1 before a late equalizer. That leaves them six ahead of Cardiff with a game played more but 11 ahead of third-placed Fulham with both having six games to play so automatic promotion looks certain for the midlands club. They come into this game with one loss in their last six league games but away from home have only won three of their last seven with defeats at promotion chasing Fulham and Aston Villa.
A tough game to predict but this looks like being a match that will have a few goals in it, go for over 2.5 goals to be scored in this match.

Our Cardiff vs Wolves Prediction
This should be a great game and a nervous one for Cardiff. Win and there's the chance of going up as champions, lose and they could end up in the play-offs, especially if they go on to get a poor result at Aston Villa in midweek. Both teams have had little hiccups this week and regularly score and concede goals, so go for over 2.5 goals to be scored in this match.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
