Cardiff to Win
This is a duel between two teams in the middle of a battle to avoid relegation. Cardiff is still outside of the relegation zone, unlike Blackpool, but the difference between them is just four points.
So, this will be a very important game for both teams and we expect an interesting duel. We believe that Cardiff is the better team and they've been in a bit better form recently, so our first Blackpool vs Cardiff prediction is for the guests to win the match.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
We saw fewer than three goals in four of the last five head-to-head duels between these two teams, so our first Blackpool vs Cardiff prediction is for the game to go under 2.5 total goals.
In addition to this, Cardiff only averaged 1.95 goals per game in Championship this season, which is the lowest average of all teams. Meanwhile, Blackpool averaged 2.62 goals per game in the league so far.

Blackpool – Cardiff Preview: Form, Recent News, and Potential Lineups
Check out the latest news and information on both teams ahead of their game, including the possible Blackpool vs Cardiff lineups:
Blackpool
With just one win in the last six matches in the league, in addition to four losses and one draw, is why Blackpool remains in the relegation zone right now. They are currently four points behind their next opponent and the first team outside of the relegation zone, Cardiff, so there is still a chance for Blackpool to stay in the league, but they need to improve their form drastically.
Meanwhile, the team is currently without eight players due to injuries, which is another reason for Blackpool's bad form recently. Some of the more important players to miss the next game with injuries include Gary Madine, Marvin Ekpiteta, and Shayne Lavery.
Blackpool Predicted Lineup:
Maxwell – Nelson, Thorniley, Husband, Connolly – Patino, Fiorini, Lyons, Hamilton – Yates, Rogers
Cardiff
In the last six games in Championship, Cardiff has two wins, one draw, and three losses. Clearly, they have been pretty inconsistent lately, which isn't much different from their season overall so far. After all, Cardiff is currently out of the relegation zone only thanks to goal difference, so the team will have a lot of work to do in the remaining seven rounds in the league.
When it comes to team news, Ebou Adams, Callum Robinson, and Jamilu Collins are on the team's injury list right now. So, Cardiff is pretty much in good shape at the moment, even though they miss a few players.
Cardiff Predicted Lineup:
Allsop – Ng, Kipre, McGuinness – Romeo, Wintle, Sawyers, O'Dowda, Philogene – Kaba, Etete

Player to Watch: Ryan Wintle
Since we expect Cardiff to win this match, we had to go with one of their players as our player to watch and since their top scorer Callum Robinson is injured and will miss this match, our player to watch is Ryan Wintle.
The English midfielder has been a constant in Cardiff's team this season and he has two goals and three assists to his name, but he also does much more for the team, so Blackpool will need to beware of Wintle in this match if they want to get a good result.
