Cardiff vs Crystal Palace Prediction & Betting tips
Cardiff City will most likely play the last Premier League home game of the coming months this weekend. The Bluebirds get a visit from Crystal Palace in Wales and have to win in order not to relegate to the Championship.
Cardiff City:
For Cardiff City, the Premier League adventure seems to come to an end after one season: The Bluebirds are eighteenth and have four points less than Brighton & Hove Albion and a smaller goal difference. In short: Cardiff City must win the last two Premier League duels and Brighton must also tie again and lose a duel. Nobody in England expects Cardiff City to win the last two Premier League duels at all, let alone that Brighton & Hove Albion will only take one more point.
The Neil Warnock formation has left its body preservation last month. Cardiff City played against Burnley and Fulham in April, and The Bluebirds did not score a single point in those two games. Last month there was a nice 0-2 win at Brighton & Hove Albion, but it is of no use if you lose 1-0 eleven days later at Fulham. At Craven Cottage, Cardiff City had to take the only goal eleven minutes before the end of the weekend and the defeat in London will make Cardiff players realize that the curtain has fallen 99 percent. Fair is fair: Cardiff City has done reasonably well in the Premier League with the means at its disposal. Huddersfield Town and Fulham have better selections than Cardiff City, which leaves those two teams behind in the ranking.
Crystal Palace:
At Crystal Palace, of course, they know exactly what they are currently experiencing at Cardiff City, because Crystal Palace has had to fight relegation regularly in recent years. This season there was virtually no question of this, because the formation of Roy Hodgson has actually been a mid-engine in the Premier League all season. That can also be expected from Crystal Palace, because The Eagles have players such as Wilfried Zaha, Christian Benteke and Andros Townsend at their disposal. All players who are of course a great addition to Crystal Palace standards.
The Crystal Palace supporters have known for a few weeks that their club will also be active at the highest level next season. Because the Crystal Palace of Hodgson has been certain of keeping its body for a few weeks, The Eagles can also play football more freely. That happened recently, among other things, at a visit to Arsenal, because at the Emirates Stadium, Crystal Palace was 2-3 too strong for The Gunners. Last weekend, Crystal Palace came no further than a scoreless draw to visit Everton, although that was by no means a bad result for The Eagles.
