This Tuesday, Championship side Wrexham will play host to League One side Cardiff City in the fourth round of the League Cup. Wrexham are finding it tough in the second tier and will do with this momentary break. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
These two sides switched leagues last season, Cardiff dropping to League One as Wrexham scaled up. It thus means they haven't met lately. The last time they faced off was in 2002.
Heading into this game, Wrexham are unbeaten in their last two matches, but only won once in the last six. To advance here, Wrexham beat Reading 2-0.
Cardiff were among the shock winners in the last round of this competition. They faced Premier League side Burnley and despite the gulf between their leagues, Cardiff triumphed.
The Bluebirds won 2-1 to sail through and will be hoping to eliminate another higher-ranked opponent. In their recent matches, however, Cardiff have stuttered.
Last time out, they fell 1-0 to Bolton Wanderers in a league game. It was their third defeat of the season but they remain top of the standings in League One. The visitors have posted three wins in the last four matches on the road.

Our Wrexham vs Cardiff Prediction
Cardiff City may be the ones playing in a lower league here but they come into this game with the better run. They have momentum sweeping through the team and will be particularly motivated by having beaten Burnley in the last round.
Wrexham, on their part, come into this game having not won most of their recent matches. This will be another tough opponent they have to face in the competition after earlier beating Preston. Though playing at home, Wrexham might struggle. Our prediction for Wrexham v Cardiff City is for a draw or Cardiff to win.
