The opening weekend of the EFL Championship continues with an all-Wales clash as Cardiff City take on Wrexham. After promotion from League One last season, this is a huge match for the Bluebirds as they return to England's second tier. Wrexham's meteoric rise through the English football pyramid almost resulted in a play-off place last season, missing out by just two points. The Red Dragons are amongst the favorites to finish in the top eight this season. Anyone who follows the Championship knows it's an incredibly difficult division to predict but for us, both Cardiff and Wrexham will be challenging for playoff places come the end of the campaign.
Onto the opener. Cardiff's preseason got off to an awful start with a 6-0 defeat to Danish side. FC Midtjylland. Since then, though, they've won four straight games. Preseason wins over Cork City, Forest Green Rovers and Roma was followed up with victory in the Carabao Cup with a narrow win against Swindon Town. As for Wrexham, their preseason results started off impressively, but were followed by defeats to Liverpool and Sunderland. Last time out, the Red Dragons were beaten in the Carabao Cup by fellow Championship side Middlesbrough.
This should be a cracker of a game, predicting a winner is tough. Cardiff's home form in League One last season was excellent, winning 17 of their 23 games at home, scoring 50 goals in the process. The Bluebirds were also the highest scorers in League One, with 90 goals in their 46 games. Wrexham only managed nine wins away in the 25/26 campaign, but they also only lost seven on the road with PPG average of 1.48. The home side are favorites to win, just about. For our prediction, though, we're focusing on the Goals market and believe both teams will score in a high scoring game.
