Cardiff vs Leicester Betting Tips &— Leicester to win

Leicester, six points ahead at the Championship’s summit, seems well positioned for a swift return to the Premier League next season. The Foxes, who have been playing exceptionally well in recent months, lengthened their undefeated streak to eight matches with a 1:1 tie against title contenders Ipswich on Tuesday.

Enzo Maresca’s team, who currently hold an 11-point lead over 3rd place Southampton, are heading to Cardiff in search of their tenth away victory for the season. The Foxes have demonstrated their strength on the road, with nine wins and only one loss from 12 Championship fixtures away from home.

On the other hand, Cardiff has had a challenging season struggling to find form and currently resides mid-table, trailing the in-form Foxes by a considerable 25 points. The Bluebirds have only managed to secure victories in three of their past ten league matches, suffering defeats in five out of their nine most recent games. At the Cardiff City Stadium, under Erol Bulut’s management, they have experienced three losses in their last four matches and were held to a 2:2 draw against Plymouth on Boxing day.

When these teams previously met earlier this season, the Foxes secured a 2:1 victory. Given Cardiff’s recent poor performance in home games, a similar result is probable on Friday evening.

With Leicester so strong on their travels, I expect Enzo Maresca´s side to again emerge with three points against a Cardiff side short on form in December.
