Cardiff City vs Swansea City Match Preview
This is the first South Wales derby of the season and it is a match that both sets of fans will be looking forward to. Cardiff City and Swansea City are two of the biggest clubs in Wales and have a long and bitter rivalry.
Cardiff City are currently in 15th place in the championship, while Swansea City are in 22nd place. Both teams are looking to get back to winning ways and this derby could be the perfect opportunity to do so.
Cardiff City expects a great performance from Kieffer Moore. The striker has been in good form this season and will look to use his aerial prowess to trouble the Swansea City defence. Mark Harris and Cody Drameh are also key players for Cardiff City and will hope to serve Moore well.
Swansea City are hoping for a good performance from Jerry Yates. The striker has also been in good form this season and will be looking to add to his goal tally against Cardiff City. Ryan Manning and Michael Obafemi are also key players for Swansea City and will hope to serve Yates well.
It is difficult to predict who will win this derby as both teams are struggling to stay fit. However, Cardiff City have a slight advantage at home and I’m backing them to get a narrow win.
