Aston Villa vs Cardiff City Prediction 10 April 2018
On April 10 2018 at 9:45 in the upcoming regular game of the 42nd matchday of the English Football League Championship at the Villa Park in Birmingham the local Aston Villa are playing against their guests Cardiff City.
Cardiff are having a wonderful season now. They are on the second place in the standings 9 points below the leaders of the league and 2 points above the team on the second place. Yet, we must admit that the Welsh have one extra game to play. Yet, Fulham, who are on the third place are in wonderful conditions and they haven’t lost for 16 games in a row. That’s actually why it seems to us that Cardiff need to gain points in every match they play.
As for Aston Villa they will almost definitely finish the season between the third and the sixth places and get a chance to participate in the Championship play-offs. It’s actually supposed to be enough for the team and that’s why they won’t probably be that motivated in the match against one of the leaders of the league.
We must also admit that Cardiff gained 80 points in their 40 matches played which is the average of two points per game as they won 24 times, drew 8 times and lost 8 times with 62:34 goal difference. As for Aston Villa, they, in their turn, have only gained 73 goals in their 41 matches which is the average of 1.78 points per match. Their goal difference is also a bit worse as they have only scored 65 goals and missed 40. In general, the Villans don’t look as strong as their competitors.
The teams have already played one game against each other in the current season and in that match Cardiff got their well-deserved victory with the 3:0 score. All of the facts we have already mentioned make us think that the visitors will almost definitely manage to avoid a loss in the upcoming match.
