The Championship standings tell a story about these squads so far, with Burnley in front of Cardiff City by 49 points. Here's the Tipsway preview:

Insights:
  • Burnley have the most scored goals (84) in Championship
  • Burnley have scored more than double the goals of Cardiff City.

Burnley are already the Championship winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. Cardiff City is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.

Burnley and Cardiff City should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Happy days for Burnley in their previous game, a fixture away at Bristol City (placed 15th) that ended with a 2-1 victory. World class coaching!

Cardiff City form and stats

7-3-12 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Cardiff City in their Championship matches away. Cardiff love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.

Cardiff City might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Huddersfield Town proved too strong as Cardiff City slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Cardiff City Stadium (Cardiff (Caerdydd)). That loss was their first after three consecutive league games winning points. McGuinness, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.84. McGuinness won 7 of 10 duels.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Rotherham United with the score of 2-1.

Sports betting fact: Both sides have scored in 8 of this club's last 10 league matches.

The attacking power of Cardiff City when travelling is not overwhelming with 21 goals scored from 22 league matches away. As opposed to that, Cardiff have seen the ball go into their own net 31 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

Burnley have avoided a loss in the last 6 games (2-4-0) against Cardiff City.

This isn't the first time these two sides meet on the pitch this season, as the statistics show this recent game: Cardiff City - Burnley 1-1.
