I would honestly love it if you boys pipped Bournemouth to the automatic promotion place. Always had a soft spot for them before they appointed Scott Parker. He's now turned them into an appalling team who even their own fans seem to dislike now! yossa6133 and alexcaruso808 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieDay1983 Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 Middlesbrough vs Cardiff Here we go again, another game of Cardiff prediction roulette. I feel like I'm getting better at predicting our unpredictability mind. A trip to Middlesbrough for a 7:45pm BST kick-off at the Riverside Stadium on Wednesday night is the latest challenge. I have a feeling I'm going to find this one a fair bit easier to pick bets for because it now seems that our players are in full-on holiday mode where as the home team are still chasing the play-offs. Middlesbrough were looking like a team going places under Chris Wilder but it seems the pressure of trying to get into the play-offs is starting to tell with the team having failed to win any of their last 5 league games. This poor form has seen the club drop to 9th in the table and 5 points off the top six but they do have a game in hand to play here. Boro had been priding themselves on their home performances but it's been three losses on the bounce for the team now. Is the expectation and nervousness of the home crowd affecting the players? Just 1 goal being scored in those 5 matches without a win shows where the main problem lies. It is fair to point out that Boro have also played in-form sides during this spell such as Fulham, Hull, Bournemouth, Huddersfield, and Swansea so maybe we shouldn't read too much into this winless run. Cardiff continue to plan for next season. Steve Morison has openly stated he wants to bring in between 10-15 players for next season. Rumours are swirling that the likes of Joe Ralls, Aden Flint, and Sean Morrison won't be offered new deals so the likes of Max Watters, Oliver Denham, and Uche Ikpeazu are given the chance to show if they have what it takes to be involved next season. The Bluebirds are down in 19th position and 15 points above the relegation zone. Morison is trying a new formation and personnel every game so that's destroying any chance of consistency. I understand his intentions but I honestly can't see what he's learning about players by putting them with unfamiliar team mates in an unfamiliar system every week. It's almost as if he's systematically trying to make certain players look poor so he can have an excuse to get rid of them. Needless to say, the fact we've lost our last 3 league games shows that this approach isn't doing our form any favours and I expect that to continue here. There have been less than 2.5 goals scored in 6 of the last 7 meetings between these two teams and I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar outcome here. I can see Middlesbrough winning a turgid game by 1 or 2 goals as our underwhelming end to the season drips on. If Middlesbrough don't win this game then they will almost certainly not reach the play-offs and I don't think they'd deserve to if they can't beat us at home in our current state.

StevieDay1983 Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Cardiff vs Birmingham This is usually the time of the week when we play Cardiff City result roulette but despite me dourly correctly predicting our defeat in midweek against Middlesbrough away I am actually going to adopt a more positive approach as we host Birmingham in this 3pm BST kick-off on Saturday afternoon from the Cardiff City Stadium. I will be attending this game now our league season has drawn to a close and I'm actually quietly optimistic we could bloody win! Cardiff are in this end of season wind down phase and our performance was best summed up after the Boro loss with someone stating we have a group of players that are either too young, not interested in being here next season, or know they're not going to be here next season. I still felt overall we didn't play too badly at Middlesbrough. I just think we are really lacking a killer instinct in the final third and our defence will always concede goals until we get a better keeper and back-line in. Nobody knows what line-up Steve Morison is going to pick again but we can expect something vaguely similar to midweek simply because we are missing a few players through injury. It's now 4 league defeats in a row with the team failing to score in our last 3 league matches. It's now 7 league games without keeping a clean sheet as well leaving us down in 19th place. Birmingham could actually be one of the few teams that are in a worse state than us right now. Lee Bowyer is constantly taking a bashing on the podcasts and social media from Blues fans but is he the problem? The owners have a lot to answer for. The Midlands club are down in 20th place and without a win in 4 league games including losing 3 of those and conceding 14 goals in their last 4 matches. It's no win in their last 3 away league games and with just 4 wins from their 22 away league matches so far it's clear to see why their fans aren't overly optimistic heading into this game. Both teams have actually scored in 5 of the last 6 matches played between these two teams. Birmingham have started to find the net again recently but can Cardiff end their barren run? It feels like we are owed a goal or two! I think if Morison gets us on the front foot and we back ourselves in the final third then it'll only take one goal for the pressure to release. I feel Max Watters is edging closer to grabbing one and if he starts I think he could be worth backing. He's getting into the right places but just lacks the self-belief. I'm hopeful Cardiff can win this one! Cardiff to Win @ 2.13 with VBet BTTS @ 1.87 with Betfair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_rag Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Some thoughts on Solanke for Bournemouth ahead of tonight's game between 2nd and 3rd. PP and the Sportsbook are currently going 9/5 anytime (6/4 or less everywhere else) and they and Hills both offer an enhanced 5/1 for him to score 1st. Both prices may be worth an interest. He's started all 44 league games this season scoring 29 goals (just over 40% of all Bournemouth's goals). With 4 braces in that tally he's scored in 25 games giving simplistic anytime odds of 1.76. Admittedly he will find it harder to score against better than average opposition but I'm still not sure I'd willingly lay him at 9/5. In the 9 games they've played against the current top 6 he's scored in 6 of them, 4 out of 5 at home, so he's no flat track bully. He's opened the scoring in 12 of his 44 games equating to better than an 11/4 shot. While there's probably a degree of randomness in that I'd still make 5/1 a reasonable bet. He's scored in each of the last 4 games and 8 of the last 11 (with a 3 game gap in the middle where Bournemouth didn't score any goals). Main bet anytime at 9/5 with a side order of 5/1 first.
