Cardiff City will be aiming to extend their excellent run of form when they welcome Wrexham in this Championship clash. As Cardiff look unstoppable at the moment, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Bluebirds have won four games in a row, including a thrilling 3-2 EFL Cup victory over Swindon, with Yousef Salech scoring twice to emerge as the man to watch. Cardiff have won an impressive 70% of their last 10 matches, while their home record is even stronger, with an 83% win rate. The Welsh outfit have also averaged 3.00 goals per game at home during that period.
Wrexham, meanwhile, will be looking to recover from a narrow 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough in their EFL Cup opener. The Dragons have added Ben Whiteman and Danny Imray on permanent deals this summer, but Thomas O’Connor, Paul Mullin and Andy Cannon have departed. Wrexham have won only 30% of their last 10 matches and have struggled badly in attack away from home, scoring just 0.43 goals per game. Their away BTTS rate is only 14%, while they have failed to score in 57% of those games.
The Bluebirds' 83% home win rate makes them strong favourites to win this match. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting tip, alongside Cardiff Over 1.5 and Cardiff to Score First.
This Championship match will be played on Monday 17 August 2026 at 20:00.
