Cardiff vs Blackpool – Free Betting Tips & Predictions

Blackpool could leapfrog Cardiff in the Championship table with a victory over the Bluebirds on Saturday. Read our top predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.

Cardiff to Win

Cardiff gained some confidence during the mid-season break thanks to a 3-1 friendly win over Premier League outfit Aston Villa and the Bluebirds played with renewed energy in their 2-2 comeback draw at Stoke last weekend. Back on home soil, Cardiff look ready to pounce for more points against a Blackpool side that look short on goals up front and reliable personnel at the back.

Under 2.5 Goals

Cardiff’s fixtures in Wales have been low on entertainment this term and a whopping 73% of their Championship skirmishes there have featured under 2.5 goals. We don’t expect their relegation six-pointer against Blackpool to set pulses races in terms of goalmouth action on Saturday and margins are likely to be razor-thin again. With that in mind, back under 2.5 goals to hit the net again.

Callum Robinson to Score Anytime

Callum Robinson looked refreshed last weekend after a month away from competitive action and the Republic of Ireland international bagged Cardiff’s equalizer in their 2-2 draw at Stoke. Robinson has momentum to carry into Saturday’s meeting with Blackpool and the 27-year-old is an interesting option in the anytime scorer’s stakes.
