THE PREDICTION

Both these teams come into the Severnside derby off the back of great wins in midweek. Cardiff dispatched an in-form Barnsley side 3-0, whilst Bristol City snapped a winless run dating back to October 3rd by beating Huddersfield 1-2 at the John Smith’s Stadium. As with most derby matches, this is expected to be a fierce but tight affair with goals perhaps hard to come by as both teams will be desperately not to suffer defeat against a local rival. The last three league games between the two sides have seen just one goal scored in each game, so consider under 2.5 goals scored in this match.
