THE PREDICTION

A 0-0 draw at home to Millwall meant that Brentford failed to take advantage of second-placed Watford’s defeat away to Luton and automatic promotion for the Bees is now looking a long way off. Games involving Brentford have normally proven low on goalmouth action, with four of their last five Championship games seeing under 2.5 goals scored. The same outcome is expected here against a Cardiff side who will look to sit back, soak up pressure and make things a difficult as possible for Brentford to break them down. So as was the case vs Millwall, Thomas Frank’s side may be forced to settle for a point.
