THE PREDICTION
A hard-fought 1-0 win for Watford over Nottingham Forest last time out sees them head into this away encounter with Cardiff inside the automatic promotion spots, although they may kick off outside the top two should Brentford beat Blackburn the night before. Cardiff meanwhile, sit four points adrift of the top six although they are still yet to be beaten under the management of Mick McCarthy. Three points are vital here for both sides, however they each may be set to cancel the other out as the ramifications of defeat in terms of their respective promotion pushes will weigh heavily on the minds of both teams. Therefore, it wouldn’t be a surprise if each are forced to settle for a draw in this one.
