Swansea vs Cardiff Prediction & Betting Tips - Championship
by Daniel Ngulu | in Championship Predictions
Another installation of the South Wales Derby is here as Swansea City plays host to Cardiff City at the Vitality Stadium with both sides eyeing the three crucial points in this game. Swansea have so far managed 69 points and are placed third, with Cardiff further down at ninth place, with 55 points. Both sides were disappointing in their latest outings and will hope to rise to the occasion in this highly anticipated clash. Swansea are coming from a 3-0 loss to Bournemouth but it wasn’t a big shocker, with the team having struggled in the earlier matches. While Swansea were on four unbeaten matches before facing Bournemouth, they’d really struggled through, getting three penalties. Their struggles stuck out against Bournemouth and they took a big dent to their automatic promotion hopes. They however have a game in hand, though even if they win it, they’ll be level on points, but below second placed Watford. The loss to Bournemouth was the fourth time in the last 10 matches that Swansea conceded three goals or more; they’ve won by one-goal margins in five of their last 10 games. In the derby, they say form doesn’t matter but Swansea will really hope it does, as they have no loss in their last four meetings with Cardiff, winning three and keeping four clean sheets. They have a good home run too, with just one loss in the last 15. In 18 Championship matches at home this season, Swansea have managed 11 wins and only two losses. From a possible 54 points in Championship matches at home, the Swans have secured 38.
Cardiff City are 14 points below Swansea, and six below the promotion playoff slot. They go to this game without a win in their last three matches, most recently having drawn 0-0 with Stoke City, and have failed to score in two of their last three matches. One win in five matches is not the best form to carry to the derby, which Cardiff have been second best for the last four matches. However, they have just one loss in the last 13 Championship matches, and won seven. Away from home, Cardiff are unbeaten in the last seven Championship matches, with four wins therein while they’ve scored twice in five of their last seven away matches in the Championship. Their goal scoring abilities haven’t been in question; Cardiff are the third best scorers with 54 goals in the league and they have eight wins in their 18 away Championship matches.

Our Swansea vs Cardiff Prediction
Cardiff City have not been in great form lately and will hope to rise in the derby. Swansea too have been a bit shaky though managing to scrap through, until they were exposed by Bournemouth. Going to this game, Swansea have a good home run and Cardiff have been good away from home. With both sides struggling of late, we will go with a draw here.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
