Cardiff vs Man City: Predictions, Betting tips and Odds | 22/09/2018|
Cardiff will host Man City at the Cardiff City stadium on Saturday at 15:00 GMT, with the Bluebirds still searching for their first win of the season. Pep Guardiola’s boys in blue meanwhile will be looking to pile the pressure on their rivals at the top of the table with another victory.
Cardiff vs Man City: Predictions and Odds
Cardiff are a trading at a monstrous 18/1 in the betting to take all three points whilst a Manchester City win is priced up at 1/8 by our William Hill forecasters.
A draw is tipped at a 7/1 pick – but our predicted outcome is a comfortable victory for the Sky Blues in our Cardiff vs Man City predictions.
Neil Warnock’s men – as expected – have barely made a dent on the Premier League since coming up from the Championship. They procured a mere 2 points – two goalless draws with Huddersfield and Newcastle – but most alarmingly scored only three goals in five games so far.
It is no surprise then that they remain the odds-on favourite to get relegated at a tip of 1/3 pick.
Their last outing saw them spanked 4-1 by Chelsea and the arrival of Manchester City’s seemingly invincible dream team was probably the last team Neil Warnock would’ve chosen to face.
A Champions League bout with Lyon is first on the agenda for Man City, but with Liverpool and Chelsea ahead of them in the table, they will be determined to secure maximum points against a inferior side like Cardiff, as part of our Cardiff vs Man City predictions and bets.
Head-to-Head (most recent last): Manchester City 2-2 Cardiff City, Cardiff City 1-0 Manchester City, Cardiff City 3-2 Manchester City, Manchester City 4-2 Cardiff City, Cardiff City 0-2 Manchester City.

A solid forecast in our Cardiff vs Man City predictions would be a Raheem Sterling goal and Manchester City victory.
The England winger has been extremely prolific for club in the past year and already boasts three league goals to his name this season. His tally of 18 league goals was bested by only four other players.
