Cardiff City will be aim to put icing on the cake as they welcome already-relegated Northampton Town, looking to celebrate promotion in style. Given the huge gap in quality between the two sides, we predict a 3-0 home win.
The Bluebirds have been solid in recent weeks, averaging 1.60 points per game, and they boast a strong defensive record with just 0.80 goals conceded per match. With no fresh injury worries and promotion secured, they can play with freedom, and their expected goals (2.06) suggest more attacking output than results show.
Northampton are in dreadful form, on a nine-game losing streak (DLLLLLLLLL) and averaging just 0.10 points per game. They concede 2.10 goals per match and have failed to keep a single clean sheet in their last 10 outings. Away form is particularly poor (0% win rate), and the injury to defender Nesta Guinness-Walker further weakens an already fragile back line. Despite scoring occasionally (0.70 per game), they struggle to compete consistently.
Considering massive quality gap, Cardiff's far superior form, and Northampton’s nine-game losing run, Home Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Cardiff -1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (H2H is 100% over 2.5).
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 25 April 2026 at 15:00.
