Cardiff City Newcastle United betting prediction

The home team comes to this 2^nd round after having lost (2‑0) in the 1st round, in a match against AFC Bournemouth. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 40 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 home matches Cardiff City has won 7, tied 1 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches.

Cardiff City is a team that has never been champion of the Barclays Premier League (1st Division English Championship). The team was champion of the Championship in 2012/13, besides having conquered titles of FA Cup in the decade of 1926/27 and of Super Cup in 1927/28. Cardiff City participated in the Championship 2017/18, where it ended as runner-up, thus gaining access to the elite of English football. Looking at Cardiff City's Premier League 2017/18 games, many games had few goals, out of twenty-three home games, sixteen had less than 1.5 goals in the first half, so now against Newcastle, who has a defensive manager, we will probably have at least a first half with few goals.

Confirmed Lineup: Neil Etheridge, Bruno Ecuele Manga, Joe Bennett, Sol Bamba, Sean Morrison, Camarasa, Josh Murphy, Harry Arter, Joe Ralls, Kenneth Zohore, Junior Hoilett.
Coach: M. Hudson.
