Prediction: 1-0
Southampton
Cardiff City will be looking to build on back-to-back wins over Brighton and Wolverhampton when they host Southampton at their Cardiff City Stadium. The Bluebirds have been impressive at home ground of late and that is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the relegation six-pointer. The Welsh outfit suffered a 3-1 loss to West Ham in London in midweek, but seeing that Southampton have been struggling at the back of late, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. The Saints suffered four in previous five away games in the Premier League and we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing something from Wednesday’s football game. In their last meeting in the English top flight Cardiff City recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Southampton, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.

Highlighted Player (Greg Cunningham):
Greg Cunningham is a product of Manchester City football academy. Irish footballer, who was born on January 31, 1991 in Galway, though, made no more than two appearances for Manchester City in the Premier League. After ending his loan spells with Leicester City and Nottingham Forest the defender moved to Bristol City in 2012 and he played for the Robins from 2012 to 2015. Creg Cunningham did well to win the Football League Trophy with Bristol City in the 2014/2015 season, but at the end of the season he moved to Preston North End. The Irish footballer has established himself as a first-team regular at Preston and it has to be noted that he was appointed captain of the team on July 24, 2017. Speaking of his international career, Greg Cunningham made his debut for Republic of Ireland on May 28, 2010 in a 3-0 win over Algeria. His main position is left-back, but he is capable of playing as a centre-back if needed as well.
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.
