Cardiff City vs Swansea City Prediction and Betting Tips | January 18th 2025

Cardiff City will be looking to secure their first home win since November 2 when they welcome Swansea City to the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday. The Swans crashed out of the FA Cup last time out and will head into the weekend in search of a pick-me-up.

Cardiff City were left disappointed on Tuesday as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Watford after conceding an 87th-minute equalizer on home turf. This followed a 1-0 victory over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in the third round of the FA Cup on January 9 courtesy of Cian Ashford’s first-half strike.

Swansea have picked up five wins and nine draws from their 26 Championship games to collect 24 points and sit 21st in the table, one point above the relegation zone.

Swansea City, meanwhile, were dumped out of the FA Cup last Sunday when they suffered a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Premier League side Southampton.

The Swans now turn their attention to the Championship, where they are unbeaten in three of their last four games, claiming two wins and one draw since Boxing Day.

With 34 points from 26 matches, Swansea City are currently 12th in the Championship standings but could move level on points with ninth-placed Bristol City with a win this weekend.
