Cardiff City vs Burnley | Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds
Cardiff City needs to wake up, and this is one of their last chances to do that. At this moment, they are second from behind in the standings, with only two points in six games. Burnley finally won, and they started to move up in the table. That is why Sean Dyche and his boys need to win here and extend this positive momentum.
Match Preview
Cardiff is entering this match after a horrifying loss at home against Manchester City, 0:5. Overall, they are very bad lately. We already said that Clarets won the most recent Premiership event, against Bournemouth, 4:0, but after that, Burton eliminated them from the English Football League Cup, 2:1.
Cardiff City
It appears that the newbies in the league, still haven’t adapted to the standards of play in the Premier League. They lost four last matches, and are without a win in 8, which is very frustrating for both fans and the manager Neil Warnock. What seems to be the biggest problem for this squad, is the poor back line. At the moment, the Welsh allowed 14 goals, which ties them with Huddersfield as the worst defense in the competition. In those four consecutive defeats, Cardiff allowed 15 goals. Of course, all those events ended with over 2.5 scores, and that is a valuable piece of information for all the punters who are reading this text.
Burnley
After defeating Bournemouth, very convincingly, the Clarets disappointed their fans a little bit. They lost to Burton in the EFL Cup and finished their participation in that competition. But, to be honest, who could be sure that this wasn’t the intention of Sean Dyche, who is not such a great admirer of these sorts of competition. Burnley’s slow start was partially a consequence of their obligations in Europe, but they finished that too, and now Clarets can focus only on the Premiership. Now, we have one fact which might disturb their fans. Since the season started, counting all the competitions they took part in, this team hasn’t won away from home. First, they had three draws, followed by four losses.

Cardiff City vs Burnley | Top Betting Tip: Draw (0-0)
This should be one very dull and boring game to watch. It is maybe harsh to say something like this, but we are absolutely sure that the majority of you who read this thinks the same. Both sides will be trying to protect their goal, waiting for some sudden chance to strike from the counter-attack or some set piece. The mentality of both parties is 100% defensive, and that is something which we already know. So, if you are to bet on goals, under 2.5 is the safest possible bet for this event. For some braver punters, try with under 1.5 goals. Burnley is awful on the road, while Cardiff’s scoring abilities are highly doubtful. Some of you might say that they did score several times this season, but in two Premiership matches at home, they failed to do that twice. Our suggestion is to choose a draw here. And a draw without goals, Cardiff City – Burnley 0:0.
