Cardiff City hosts Brentford in round 21 of the English Championship. The match will be played on Saturday, December 26th at Cardiff City Stadium (Cardiff)
Cardiff dropped to the middle of the standings. In recent years, the Bluebirds have climbed to the Premier League twice, but they are unable to gain a foothold there and avoid relegation to the Championship. Neil Harris' wards almost managed to return to the elite this summer, but in the end, they took only fifth place and lost in the playoffs. The manager has remained at his post, but his players have not shown the expected progress so far. There was a good streak at the end of November, but after four wins in a row, the Welsh team lost twice in the last three rounds. Now the Bluebirds are only closing the top ten of the standings. However, the gap is still small, and they can climb to the playoff zone even in 2020.

Brentford will try to recover by Saturday. The Bees began to celebrate on Tuesday. Then the team hosted Newcastle and was able to beat the representative of the Premier League in the EFL Cup. Dasilva scored the only goal, but the club from the Championship generally was in no way inferior to the Magpies. Thus, history is rewritten - never before in history has Brentford climbed to the semifinal round of any of the English cups. It is another proof of the progress of the modest club under Thomas Frank. The Dane almost took his players to the Premier League at the end of last year. As a result, there was a defeat in the playoffs, which became a lesson - it is advisable to fight for one of the first two places and a direct ticket to the Premier League. Now the Bees, who have not lost in the championship since October, have moved up to 4th place. After defeating Reading, they approached Bournemouth at a distance of three points. Will Brentford manage to take the decisive step?
Cardiff looks like a solid enough team that is capable of creating problems for anyone, especially at home. However, Brentford is in perfect shape now, so we will bet on the visitors’ victory with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Brentford to win with 0.0 handicap
