Cardiff City vs Portsmouth Prediction and Betting Tips | October 22, 2024 

Cardiff City host Portsmouth at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday in the Championship. The hosts look to have turned a corner under interim boss Omer Riza and are 22nd in the standings with eight points from 10 matches.

They carried out a 5-0 dismantling of 10-man Plymouth Argyle on Saturday, with five players getting on the scoresheet, including summer arrivals Anwar El Ghazi and Chris Willock who opened their accounts for the club.

Portsmouth, meanwhile, have struggled on their return to the second tier as they find themselves in the drop zone. They, however, picked up their first win of the season with a 2-1 win at Queens Park Rangers at the weekend. Freddie Potts and Callum Lang got on the scoresheet in either half to help Pompey overturn an early deficit.

The visitors are a place behind Cardiff in the standings on goal difference but will leapfrog them with a win.
