Cardiff City vs Leicester City: prediction & betting tips 29/12/2023

Cardiff City 

Cardiff City started the season with 5 victories out of their 7 home games. But they’ve been regressing recently. They’ve won only 1 out of the last 5 home games, against Milwall (1:0). They haven’t managed to win even in the games against Birmingham City (0:1) and Plymouth Argyle (2:2). 

Leicester City

Leicester City have taken 2.46 points per game. They’re current leaders, and they should end this season in the promotional play-offs zone at least. They’ve played well both in the home and away games. They have lost 1 out of their 12 away games, 5 points more than their closest rivals.

Cardiff City – Leicester City prediction

Cardiff City are in the top ten teams of the Championship (34 points) but they hardly deserve it. They’re not great in the expected goal difference (xgDiff = -7,7). They’re not the ones to compete with the leader. Besides, Manolis Siopis is to miss this game.

Current Cardiff City form won’t let them surprise anyone in this match.
