Cardiff City welcome the visitors Watford in the English Premiere League – Round 27. The match will be held on Friday, February, 22th, at the Cardiff City Stadium (Cardiff).
The hosting Cardiff City are one of the Premiere League outsiders. They sit 17th with a tally of 25 points. Notably, Neil Warnock’s men were victorious in the last 2 encounters; the last win over Southampton was especially crucial, as Cardiff surpassed their direct rival for survival, 2:1. The 1st half-time in that clash turned exciting and the last minutes were most dramatic. Sol Bamba scored an opener on the 69th minute, and the guests seemed to end in a minimum win. It so happened indeed, but their fans had to worry a lot. Yet in the extra-time, the ‘Saints’ leveled the score thanks to Jack Stephens, but Cardiff pulled out the victory in the next attack. The decider was netted by Kenneth Zohore. Cardiff City did not secure any safe place though, the fight for survival will last till the very last round.

The visiting Watford are generally successful in this campaign. They take the 8th line in the standings with a tally of 37 points. Theoretically, they can climb the 7th tier and overcome Wolverhampton Wanderers, but they are 13 points behind Chelsea who run 6th. We don’t think that the present-formed Watford are capable of managing this breakaway. In the last 4 rounds, the team registered 2 goalless draws, 1 defeat, and 1 win. The victory was attained in the previous clash with Everton, within the comforts of home surroundings. The solitude goal by Andre Gray on the 65th minute turned decisive. The first half-time was blatantly boring, the sides started to move somehow only after the break, featuring opportunities. Anyways, Watford demonstrated better performance and managed to convert one of their few chances.
In the matches like this, it’s better not to try predicting a winner. Bookmakers didn’t come up with the favorites and offered approximately equal odds. An underscoring draw looks most likely, but we’re taking a risk and betting on the total. It is possible that someone will feature a win, scoring in one of scanty opportunities. The opponents will compete till the opener – the side that net first will probably win. There are no grounds to predict over 2 goals on Friday. The teams will possibly focus on their defense and keep to this tactics throughout the match. So, even if anyone find the net, it will most likely be a winner. As to us, the match will produce under 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals.
