Fulham vs Cardiff – Championship Playoff
Date: Thursday, 30 July 2020,
Kick-Off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Craven Cottage (London).

First Leg: Cardiff 0:2 Fulham

As expected, the Cottagers took the chance and has a 2-goal advantage coming into this second leg. In the away game they dominated the possession and got the deserved result for the effort they put in.

But the tie is far from settled as a this kind of advantage can be risky considering the opposition is a great attacking unit.

Cardiff needs to work on their finishing more. They put three shots on target but could not manage to break the Fulham defence.

Even though they have a great away form currently, their last defeat on the road was against Fulham back on 10th July.

Fulham vs Cardiff: Prediction

The visitors are low on morale after the heartbreaking defeat in the first leg. This was their second consecutive defeat to Fulham this season.

Adding to this is their poor record at this ground against the Cottagers. But they would have learned from the mistakes they and we can expect to created chances in this one and maybe get a goal or two.

But that would not ensure their promotion to the Play Off finals. Even though they have not won many games at this ground they have scored in majority of the matches, as did the hosts.

For tips, I am giving high importance to results from head-to-head games and the first leg and Fulham to win is once again my top choice along with both teams finding some joy in scoring departing.
