Fulham vs Cardiff Match Preview

Fulham is ranked at the 4th place with 73 points and while it seems that they have almost secured the playoffs, they could also aim for the second spot to earn direct promotion. Their two losses against two direct rivals, like Leeds and Brentford, surely caused some problems to them but they won the last three in a row and it seems the team has found some good momentum, which is much needed when they host another tough rival like Cardiff.

At home Fulham has been quite good so far, winning 13 out of 21 games, which alongside some other teams is the biggest number of victories. And they scored 33 goals from 56 in total while playing at home.

Cardiff, on the other side, is ranked at the 6th place, which is the last one that gives a playoff ticket, with 64 points. They were rolling very well before suffering a very surprising home loss 2-3 to Blackburn, a team that didn't really need the points. So they must immediately bounce back on track now if they wish to keep this spot, because Swansea is just one point behind, while Preston and Derby three points.

They have scored 60 goals in total so far, showing a decent offensive side, and half of these came while playing on the road. They managed to find the back of the net in four of the last five matches away from home, totaling nine goals.

Fulham is the team sitting in a more comfortable position here and having less pressure on them. I expect they should pull off a good performance, especially since they play at home. They scored a goal in each of the last six h2h games at home against Cardiff. Now Cardiff is in need of points and I expect to see a motivated team searching for the goal from the start. In conclusion, I think both teams can score a goal today.
