THE PREDICTION
Following the sacking of Neil Harris, Cardiff have installed the experience Mick McCarthy as their new manager and his first game in charge of the Bluebirds sees him travel to his hometown club in Barnsley. The Tykes are fresh from a 1-0 win over Norwich, which saw them advance to the fifth round of the FA Cup. An energetic fearless outfit like Valerien Ismael’s side is not the sort of opponent McCarthy would have hoped for in his first game in charge and it’s likely that a team in transition takes to the field for Cardiff in Yorkshire. With that in mind, the hosts draw no bet should be favoured here.
