Prediction: 1-1
Birmingham City
Cardiff City and Birmingham City face each other in a highly-anticipated game at Cardiff City Stadium in the Championship round 19. The Bluebirds aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Swansea City, and they are eager to move a little closer to the playoffs berth. Even though midfielder Joe Ralls is sidelined through suspension, bookies see the Bluebirds as favourites to win Wednesday’s clash.
The Blues, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Watford. Unlike previous seasons, Birmingham City have been producing much better showings at home than on the travels in the new Championship campaign, and that is the main reason why we predict they will grab something from the Cardiff City Stadium clash. Kristian Pedersen, who was sent off in the 1-0 loss to Watford, will have to serve his ban against the Bluebirds.
