In a weekend match in week 12, on Saturday Oct 1st, Cardiff City will play host to Burnley in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Championship teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. In their last match, 18th placed Cardiff City, recorded a 0-1 loss against Huddersfield Town. Jordan Rhodes struck first for Huddersfield Town in the 8th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Cardiff City was frustrated by Huddersfield Town’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Huddersfield Town ended the match with the shutout victory. Cardiff City is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while burnley is fresh off their 2-1 win against Bristol City. Manuel Benson struck first for Burnley in the 4th minute on a feed from Ian Maatsen, then Nahki Wells tied it up for Bristol City in the 27th minute on a feed from Conway. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Burnley should be reasonably happy with their performance.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Burnley is glad to have Jay Rodriguez in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 4 goals. Cardiff City hasn’t been successful in netting any goals lately. Their top scorers in the last 5 matches are Romaine Sawyers and Perry Ng, and they each have 1 goal.
