Our prediction for this Championship match:
There will be fireworks when Cardiff City and Watford face each other at Cardiff City Stadium on Matchday 36. The Bluebirds did well to crush Derby County 4-0 in their last home game, with the team sharing the spoils with Huddersfield on the road at the weekend. The Welsh outfit aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, and we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field in Saturday’s clash. Joel Bagan, who suffered a shoulder injury at the weekend, has joined Bamba, Osei-Tutu, and Vassell in the recovery room.
The Hornets, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest. Watford aim to build on back-to-back wins over Wycombe and Nottingham Forest, with the team eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet in the Championship, and seeing that Cardiff City have been impressive at the back of late, a low-scoring affair is on the cards. Deeney, Dele-Bashiru, Forster, and Kabasele are all likely to miss the game with injuries.
