Wolves and Cardiff City have met many times in the past, and the most recent meeting ended in a 2-0 home win. This time, though, the picture is quite different, because both teams have just come back from fixtures with contrasting results. Wolves are back to winning at home after a spell where their defence had problems. They have just won their latest match 1-0 and are unbeaten in 3 straight, but their attack is still not as sharp as it should be. Cardiff City are also unbeaten in 3 straight and have just thrashed their opponents 5-1 at home, so their attack can be trusted, but their away defence still has gaps to exploit. This game is likely to be one where Wolves have more of the ball and try to break down a deep-lying Cardiff defence. If the home side score first, the game should open up, and there is a chance Wolves will edge the win in the end.
