Cardiff City begin 2026 with a three point lead at the top of League One and with a game in hand. New Year's Day sees them travel to ninth-placed Wycombe Wanderers? Can the home side beat the league leaders? Read our match prediction below.
The Bluebirds beat Stevenage 2-1 at home last Monday, their second successive win and 15th of the season. They have been inconsistent on the road in recent games. Despite being top of the table, the Welsh club have been beaten in three of their last five away league fixtures.
Both teams have been on the scoresheet in three of their last four away league matches.
Wycombe are ninth but six points adrift of eighth place and just three above the relegation zone Their last league fixture ended in a 1-1 draw at Plymouth Argyle but they did lead. Only one of their last eight league and cup games has been won.
Wycombe have been going well at home this season with six league victories. Their most recent home league game saw them beat Bolton Wanderers 2-1. That made it four wins in their last five League One games played on home soil. Both teams have scored in three of the last four.
This should be an open game and we tip both teams to score.

Our Wycombe Wanderers vs Cardiff Prediction
Cardiff top the table but aren't always at their best on the road. They have been beaten in three of their last five away league matches and need to impove that record in the coming weeks and months to help secure their promotion.
Wycombe are strong at home but just one away league win this season is hindering their promotion hopes. Only one of their last eight league and cup games has been won but just two played at home. Our Wycombe v Cardiff prediction is both teams to score.
