The Championship game at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday sees visitors Birmingham facing home side Cardiff.

Cardiff have a win and a defeat to show from the first couple of Championship outings and which side of the coin will they see at Cardiff City Stadium? Surely, Birmingham won't be a pushover at this early point of the season. Birmingham will be satisfied having collected four out of a possible six points in their new Championship campaign, as they aim for three more points this time around.

Cardiff and Birmingham have high hopes for this new season and should be expected to put up a good game as they chase three important points in round three.

Cardiff scored seven times in the last ten outings for an average of 0.7 goals a game. They conceded 14 and managed two clean sheets.

Birmingham travel to their next Championship match, averaging a lowly one goals per game in their last ten matches. They scored a disappointing total of ten goals, while also conceding 18 goals. That amounts to an average of 1.8 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Cardiff vs Birmingham Prediction

Cardiff managed to win two of their past six home matches in the Championship. In the remaining four, they drew two and lost two, as they scored four and conceded seven goals.

In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly Cardiff might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Championship looks the most realistic scenario.

Birmingham only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Championship. In these six matches they drew three and lost two as well as being outscored by ten goals to four.

A battle for survival appears to be on the cards for Birmingham as they seek to keep their Championship status for another term.

Cardiff might be favourites, but their current form doesn't cut it for us, at least not compared with the prices on offer at the bookmakers. We would rather take a shot at Birmingham to nick a point or perhaps even a win.

Tips

Under 2.5

Both Cardiff and Birmingham are having a hard time finding their way to the net. With the teams clashing in this round 3, we find a low scoring match is the natural pick.

Double Chance: X2

Though favourites for the win, we are uncertain the current form of Cardiff backs this claim. We believe there is good value in Birmingham, perhaps with the backing of the draw.

Birmingham to win

Bookmakers rate the match more or less equal, but Cardiff have looked a little shaky recently. We believe, it could be optimal time for Birmingham to visit Cardiff City Stadium, and we back them for a good result.

Cardiff to win

We've thought long and hard which bet offers the best price at the bookies, as the match against Birmingham could turn out a bit slippery for Cardiff. Considering form and strength in squad, we nevertheless ended up siding with the latter on Saturday.
