LiontipsCardiff vs Watford. Prediction (odds 2.19) and bets on the Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Before the start of the season, Cardiff were not considered a clear candidate for relegation from the Championship, but at the same time they had a very modest selection of players and could hardly set themselves too ambitious goals. Omer Riz team failed the first round and currently occupies only 23rd place in the table with 23 points. However, the situation has not become hopeless yet - the blue birds are lagging behind the saving 21st place only due to additional indicators. A few days ago, Cardiff created a sensation in the FA Cup, beating Sheffield United 1:0 away.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ramsey, Reindorf and Turnbull are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Cardiff are unbeaten in their last four matches, winning two and drawing two.
- Cardiff have scored in their last five matches
Probable line-up: Alnwick - Rinomhota, Gutas, Dalan, O'Dawda - Siopis, Chambers, Ashford, Robertson, Tanner - Colville.
Current form
Watford were considered clear contenders for a playoff spot before the start of the season, but Tom Cleverley team lacked stability in the first round. At the moment, with 37 points, the Hornets occupy ninth place in the table and are three points behind sixth-placed West Bromwich, who have played a match more - there is a chance to catch up with their competitors today. A few days ago, Watford predictably dropped out of the FA Cup, losing without a chance in the derby 1:4 to Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Disqualifications and injuries
Dele-Bashiru is injured.

2.25Tip and bets
Watford have not looked their best lately and have suffered four defeats in a row, but the schedule has not been the easiest, so it is still too early to talk about a full-fledged crisis. The Hornets remain contenders for a playoff spot and today, without a doubt, they will take risks and play only for a win in an attempt to move up the table, the visitors have very high-level players ahead and Cardiff defense is unlikely to be able to play reliably in such a situation.
We believe that the hosts will not remain dry. Betting Tip - Watford individual total is more than one goal . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.95
Bet on the outcome
The teams are approaching the face-to-face meeting in different moods and conditions – Cardiff have had a series of four matches without a win, while Waftford, in turn, have lost their last four matches. At the same time, the Hornets are solving completely different problems in the championship and have a serious advantage in the selection of players over their opponents – an easy walk to Cardiff City is not expected, but the Hornets are capable of taking their three points. Despite all the recent achievements of the blue birds, it is no coincidence that they occupy the penultimate place in the table.
Bet - Asian handicap (0) on Watford. This bet is offered for 2.19
Bet on corners
Cardiff will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Watford are quite capable of responding, there should be plenty of corners.
Bet - total over 9.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.75
