Cardiff v Wolves

Another weekend means another weekend of football. Here are our Premier League 1st & 2nd December betting tips.

Game 14 of the Premier League season gets started on Friday night in Wales as Cardiff City take on Wolves live on Sky Sports from 8.00pm. The home side find themselves in desperate need of the win following a horrible start to the season; this has left them stranded down in 19^th, level with bottom side Fulham and one-off Burnley in safety. A record of two wins, two draws and nine defeats is to blame. However, thankfully for followers of the locals, they are one of six or seven teams who have made a bad start, so all is not lost heading towards winter.

They did bag a win on their penultimate start but were beaten last time out when going down to Everton at Goodison Park. They may have left empty-handed, but a few positives can be taken from their display, going down by a single goal. Sigurdson struck on the hour mark to separate the sides; that was enough to grant The Toffees their fourth win on the bounce as they continue to slide towards the major places after a rocky start. Cardiff must learn to hold on for something to show for their efforts.

Wolves are Struggling

Wolves can be found in midtable; however, their recent form is just as bad as that of their opponents, if not worse. They started well enough but have taken just one of the last 15 points that has been available to them. They are rushing towards a place in the relegation zone if they aren’t able to arrest that slump, and fast. The spare draw came on their penultimate start when holding on for a share with Arsenal at the Emirates, a match they were expected to get nothing from.

Cavaleiro had The Terriers ahead that day, scoring on 13 minutes; however, that advantage was eventually cancelled out by Mkhitaryan on 86. A brave effort, and one fully deserving of credit, but they returned to losing ways last time, beaten 2-0 by Huddersfield in front of their own fans. Mooy scored a double to seal the day, including the first inside six minutes. That went down as a bit of a shock result, with the teams looking evenly matched on paper before kick-off. That sent out a real warning shot.

No both teams to score

It is difficult to make a strong case for either of these sides winning; this is sure to be a tense, nervy affair with both managers and sets of players knowing the dangers that come with slipping up and losing to a relegation rival heading in to the busiest month of the season. Cardiff enjoy home advantage. Having said that, it hasn’t done them any real favours so far this season; there is little reason to expect they are going to turn it around on Friday.

Bookies have Wolves as favourites for the win and, although we can’t really argue with that, their recent form does nothing to support it. They are 21/20 with Unibet and that’s not enough to attract our stake money. Cardiff have been chalked up at 14/5 with Coral and the draw is 21/10 with the same firm. We are happy to avoid the match winner market and go ‘no’ in the both teams to score, which will be paid out at 4/5 by Bet365 if we are right.
