Cardiff to Win
Although Cardiff is currently just three points and one spot above the relegation zone, they have been in good form recently, winning three of their last six games in Championship.
Meanwhile, Swansea finally won in the last round after losing three in a row, so they are clearly not at the top of their game. With Cardiff also hosting the match, our first Cardiff vs Swansea prediction is for the home team to get the three points.
Cardiff and Swansea to Draw at Half Time
Given the fact that Cardiff is in better form, while Swansea is ahead of them in the standings, this will likely be a very close duel and both teams have a chance here.
So, while we expect Cardiff to win the match, we don't see them having an easy job. With that in mind, our second Cardiff vs Swansea prediction is for the two teams to be tied at half time.

Cardiff – Swansea Preview: Recent Form, Latest News, and Possible Lineups
You can find the latest information here on both teams ahead of their duel, including the predicted Cardiff vs Swansea lineups:
Cardiff
Thanks to the good run recently in which they won three of their last six games, along with one draw and a couple of losses, Cardiff managed to get out of the relegation zone and they are now sitting three points ahead of the first team in it. With eight games left in the season, it's clear that Cardiff is up for a very close battle for survival in Championship.
Ebou Adams and Jamilu Collins are out of this game, while the team's top scorer this season Callum Robinson is doubtful.
Cardiff Predicted Lineup:
Allsop – Ng, Kipre, McGuinness – Romeo, Wintle, Sawyers, O'Dowda, Philogene – Kaba, Etete
Swansea
After six games without a win and three losses in a row, Swansea finally ended this poor streak with a win over Bristol City in the last round. The team is having a pretty average season overall since they are currently in the 16th place in the standings with 46 points, so they are pretty much guaranteed to end somewhere near the middle or in the lower half of the table.
Meanwhile, Joe Allen and Steven Benda are the only two players out with injures at the moment, with the rest of the team fit for the next game.
Swansea Predicted Lineup:
Fisher – Darling, Cabango, Wood, Manning – Grimes – Cundle, Fulton, Ntcham – Piroe, Cullen

Player to Watch: Ryan Wintle
Given that our prediction is for Cardiff to win this game, it is only logical to go with one of their players as player to watch. So, with Callum Robinson likely out, our choice is Ryan Wintle.
The midfielder has been a stable all season in Cardiff's team, with thirty six appearances in Championship so far, in which he scored a couple of goals and added three assists. That might not sound like too much, but Wintle does so much more on the pitch and Swansea need to be wary of him.
