After posting mixed results in the League Cup, Wrexham and Cardiff City are set to clash in their opening Championship match. Promoted Cardiff City will be banking on home support having been superb at home last season. No clean sheets were recorded in this fixture’s last five meetings, and our prediction will stick with BTTS.
Cardiff are looking to continue with their dominant ways in this fixture, being unbeaten in the last three meetings. They will also seek to improve defensively, coming from a 3-2 win against Swindon in the EFL Cup.
That marked the fifth time they failed to keep a sheet in six matches. On the other hand, they’ve scored 3+ in their last three matches now.
While Cardiff finished second in League One, earning automatic promotion, Wrexham narrowly missed a promotion playoff spot. The Red Dragons come into this season keen on addressing that and will want a flying start.
However, we won’t be going for an outright win for the away team. This is because they are coming off a losing start to the season, having fallen 1-0 to Middlesbrough in the League Cup.
They are now without a clean sheet in the last three competitive matches. The visitors, however, failed to score in just one of the last 13 league matches.

Our Cardiff vs Wrexham Prediction
Wrexham have failed to win in this fixture for three straight matches. They aren’t coming here on the right footing, having lost their EFL Cup first rounder and now having conceded in each of their last three competitive outings.
The Red Dragons meet a Cardiff side that rarely fails to score, though Wrexham themselves have good numbers in attack too. In this fixture, no clean sheet was registered in the last five meetings. With that, our prediction for Cardiff v Wrexham is BTTS.
