Cardiff City

At the outset of the season, the "Bluebirds" sought to establish themselves in the upper echelons of the Championship table. However, a series of defeats and draws resulted in Cardiff City currently occupying the 11th position. Recent matches have significantly improved their situation, with Cardiff City securing four victories in the last five rounds. It's worth noting that Cardiff's fixture list has been somewhat favorable, with three of these victories coming against lower-ranked opponents. The only exception was a hard-fought home win against Ipswich with two goals scored in extra time. However, their winning streak was halted in the last round when the "Bluebirds" suffered a 0-2 defeat away to Swansea in the derby.

Sunderland

The "Black Cats" are neighbors with Cardiff City in the league table, but they lag behind by five points. Sunderland's recent poor results have been the primary cause of this gap. In the previous round, Sunderland failed to find the net against QPR at home, playing out a goalless draw. However, this draw at least halted Mike Dodds' side's six-match losing streak. While defeats against Southampton, Leicester, and Norwich are somewhat expected given their status as top-tier teams, the home loss to Swansea, and especially the away defeat to Huddersfield, highlight significant issues.

Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History

Cardiff City vs Sunderland Prediction

Judging by their recent performances, the "Bluebirds" emerge as the favorites in this encounter. However, bookmakers are cautiously tipping the scales in favor of the hosts. Cardiff City's victory is priced at 2.63. We believe that "Cardiff City to win with a 0 handicap" is a worthwhile bet, with odds of 1.83.
