Both sides come into this game in contrasting form, with Cardiff enduring a horror start to the campaign, whilst Swansea are looking to build on their first win. We expect the visitors’ woes to continue with a home victory. Swansea are unbeaten in their last three home games against Cardiff in the South Wales Derby, and in these games they have kept a clean sheet in all of them, averaging two goals per game.
The Swans have been superior in this fixture at home, scoring in both halves of the game in each of the previous three. They have also been the first to score in five of the last six meetings.
However, a big win may not be on the cards, as Cardiff have been involved in games featuring less than 2.5 goals in five of their last seven overall. As a result, we expect Swansea to pick up all three points, but it will be competitive – Swansea 2-0 Cardiff
