Manchester United hosts Cardiff City in round 38 of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, May 12th at Old Trafford (Manchester)
Manchester United failed the ending of the season. The Red Devils not only showed a toothless game with Barcelona in the Champions League, but frankly poorly played in the last matches of the Premier League. After a forced victory over West Ham, where the Hammers but up the Reds, the Devils managed to score only 2 points in 4 subsequent matches. Yes, Manchester United played quite well with the Citizens and Chelsea, but at the same time, they incompetently spent 90 minutes in Liverpool with Everton, conceding 4 unanswered goals. In addition, the Devils somehow tied a draw with Huddersfield - the weakest club of the Premier League. As a result, the Reds have lost all chances of getting into the Champions League.

Cardiff will not be able to maintain a place in the elite under any circumstances. But it does not mean that the team will throw the match at Old Trafford. Despite the unimpressive results, the Bluebirds looked very good in the last matches. In a fight with Liverpool, for example, Cardiff restrained the onslaught of the Reds for an entire hour. In the match with Chelsea, the team lost downright in the end of the meeting. Moreover, in that game, Cardiff's opponent scored 1 of its goals from the meter offside. The Bluebirds also looked great in the match with Manchester City at Etihad. No points were scored, but they managed to avoid a romp, despite the early-allowed goal.
Of course, the hosts are favorites of the meeting, but not so obvious. Manchester United has serious problems in both attack and defense. The Reds have been conceding for 14 games in a row, and they have scored only 2 goals for the last 5 matches. In addition, the atmosphere in the team is not so favorable. It is not surprising that after the success with PSG, the Devils managed to win only 2 of the 11 subsequent matches, and even then with a 1-goal advantage. MU can probably beat Cardiff on class, but the defeat won’t be hammering. Actually, the Devils won only one match with a difference of 3 goals in 2019. The bus didn’t save Cardiff in the games with Premier League stalwarts, but at the same time, the Bluebirds did not look like easy beats. Manchester City and Liverpool could not hammer Cardiff, and it is unlikely that the Red Devils will manage to do it.
Prediction for the match: Cardiff to win with +2.0 handicap
