Prediction: 0-2
Southampton
Cardiff City Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Cardiff City and Southampton. The Bluebirds have little to play for in the season finale as they are stuck in the middle of the table, while the Saints are eyeing automatic Premier League promotion. All Josh Wilson-Esbrand, Callum O’Dowda, Kion Etete, Jak Alnwick, and Mark McGuinness are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Saints, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Championship and they are only two points behind the automatic promotion berth. As Southampton want this win more than Cardiff City, we are tempted to place our bets on Russell Martin’s troops. Barring any fresh njury worries, Russell Martin is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Preston 3-0 in midweek. In the first half of the season Southampton defeated Cardiff City 2-0.
Highlighted Player (Ebou Adams):
After spending his youth career at Orpington and Dartford, Ebou Adams made his debut for the Dartford senior team on April 26, 2014, in a 3-1 loss to Nuneaton Town. Born in Greenwich, England on January 15, 1996, Ebou Adams is a midfielder who played for the likes of Walton Casuals (loan), Norwich City, Braintree Town (loan), Shrewsbury Town (loan), Leyton Orient (loan), and Ebbsfleet Town as well before joining Forest Green Rovers.
He signed a two-year deal with the Green Army on June 18, 2019, making his debut with the club on August 10, 2019, in a 1-1 draw with Walsall. The footballer of Gambian descent debuted for the Gambia national team against Morocco B in November 2017.
His primary position is central midfield, but he is often used as a defensive midfielder. Ebou Adams has dual citizenship (England/Gambia), and he wears the number 14 shirt at Forest Green.
Highlighted Team (Southampton):
Southampton are an English football club that have been playing their home games at St Mary's Stadium since 2001. The Saints were based at The Dell in the past and the capacity of Southampton’s new stadium is 32,505. Southampton wear red and white striped shirts and the colour of the team’s away kit is navy and green.
The Saints have yet to win the Premier League trophy, but they did well to clinch the FA Cup title back in 1976, while participating in the final of the prestigious competition in 1900, 1902 and 2003. Southampton outplayed Manchester United in the 1976 FA Cup final and that is probably the club’s greatest victory ever.
The club are well known for their football academy and Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale is one of the players who began their football carrier at the St. Mary’s Stadium outfit. Southampton’s fiercest rivals are Portsmouth and the two teams square off against each other in the South Coast Derby.
