Cardiff City are the only team in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup who do not play in the Premier League.

Cardiff City

Moreover, Cardiff City are not even among the participants in the Championship. They were relegated from it last season and are now trying to climb back up from League One. So far they are succeeding: The team lead the standings by four points. In the EFL Cup, they eliminated Wrexham (3:2 on penalties) and before that beat Burnley (2:1).

Chelsea

Compared with last season, Chelsea are performing better in the EFL Cup. Then the team were eliminated in the round of 16, whereas now they have gone one stage further. Before facing Cardiff City, they beat Lincoln City (2:1) and Wolverhampton Wanderers (4:3). Against stronger opponents, they do not always win: Chelsea recently had a four-match winless run, which only ended last weekend with a 2:0 victory over Everton.

Cardiff City vs Chelsea Prediction

Three days later Chelsea have a difficult Premier League match against Newcastle United, so they are likely to field a rotated team against Cardiff City. The hosts should be able to compete and at the very least avoid a heavy defeat.
