2.14Cardiff to win10

We've got one game in the Championship on Friday night and it's a relegation battle as Cardiff host Reading, with both teams looking for three points.

Cardiff Form Guide

Cardiff finally found a win last weekend, and it was a big one. They won 2-0 away at Birmingham, and this could come at the right time, as they look desperately in need of a spark. The key now is to use it, as they are just one place and two points above the relegation zone, so there is still plenty of work to do.

Prior to their win over Birmingham, Cardiff had lost four games in a row, and edged closer towards the relegation zone. The win over Birmingham ended that, and also ended Birmingham's two game winning run too. Goals remain a concern for Cardiff, and they come into this weekend as the lowest scorers in the division, with just 24 league goals from 32 games.

Reading Form Guide

Reading are clear of the relegation battle for now, but they know if they continue their struggles, it may not be too long for them to be dragged in. They come into the weekend in 15th place with 41 points, and that puts them 11 points clear of the drop, for now. Things can quickly change though, Reading will know how important points are right now.

Just like their opponents Cardiff, Reading also come here on the back of a win at the weekend. It wasn't as impressive, but they still got three points, beating Rotherham 2-1. Before then, it wasn't as good, and that victory over Rotherham was the first win in 2023 for Reading in the Championship.

Match Prediction

While Reading have to be respected here, and the road back is still a long one for Cardiff, we have to side with the Welsh side in this one. Their win over Birmingham last weekend was exactly what they needed and we're backing them to make it two in a row with a huge win to pull them clear of the relegation zone.
