Cardiff City - Plymouth Argyle

After November run of four games without a win, Cardiff have noticed three consecutive league wins against top league sides (Preston, WBA and Middlesbrough). Considering team’s quality, in my opinion they’re just behind Newcastle and with injury crisis that has been ended, they should continue climbing on the table. Hosts are almost at full strength, Mcphail (cancer) is the only first team absentee, while on-loan forward Kelvin Etuhu should be fit. Cardiff are not prone to underestimating, no problem with pitch condition and full squad should guarantee good home display. In five home wins, just one (Preston 1-0) finished with one goal margin.

 

Visitors are in completely different position. Trip to Wales came after five consecutive league defeats with not a single goal scored! They’ve represented themselves in previous 21 rounds as a poor side and moving to the third tier looks like clear reality. They’ll try to defend with 10 players as usual, but if concede early goal, this game could turn into nightmare. Boss Paul Mariner has lots of worries to patch the defense line as right and left back, Shane Lowry and David Gray, have returned to their parent clubs after their loan periods have been finished. Third defender, Darcy Blake, is on loan from Cardiff and can not play against them. Also, Plymouth have more important game at Monday when they’ll host Reading.

 

This should be a clear home win. The facts that call on caution is Cardiff also have a game at Monday (visit Peterborough) and probably will try to keep some strength. This, however shouldn’t mean they’ll risk three points with possible keeping of the minimal lead. Second fact is, even if they concede a goal in early stage I don’t think Plymouth will show some intentions to attack, they’ll just try to concede not too many. Home handicap win.
