Bournemouth hosts Cardiff City in round 25 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Thursday, December 30th at Vitality Stadium (Bournemouth)
Bournemouth is remembered as an original club, which stayed in the Premier League for several years even without serious money (yes, there are Russian investors, but you probably know that not everyone has Roman Abramovich's capabilities!). Eddie Howe did a great job, but the Cherries still left the elite and changed the manager. At the same time, the club sold out many football players, so it's not surprising that it didn't manage to return to the Premier League from the outset. Woodgate can be praised for the fact that his team fought right up to the playoffs. Now he has been replaced by Scott Parker, and Bournemouth has shown a powerful start under his management. Yes, it was replaced by a sharp decline in November, but the victory over QPR gives hope for a new rise.

As the name implies, Cardiff City is based in the capital of Wales. But the Bluebirds have been playing in the English football divisions for a very long time. Moreover, they even managed to get into the Premier League, but without much success. In the previous season, the Welsh club was limited to only 8th place in the Championship. But now it can only dream about it. The Bluebirds manage to score an average of one point per match, which means that they have to worry about the risk of being relegated to League 1. Curiously, Steve Morrison's men (the young specialist was raised from the U-23 team only in November) beat Preston and Luton away and won back in Birmingham (2-2). But nine out of ten home matches were lost (taking into account the relegation from the League Cup).
In the 2018/2019 season of the Premier League, Bournemouth and Cardiff City exchanged home wins. In the previous season of the Championship, the Bluebirds scored four points. But in September, Bournemouth took revenge and earned three points in Wales. Now Bournemouth is seen as a clear favorite, and perhaps in vain. We think Cardiff can compete for at least a draw. It is worth betting on Over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
