👉 Our prediction is: Barnsley win or draw

Our top tip for this match is to bet Barnsley to win or draw on the Double Chance market.

While it is tough to go away from home and pick up a positive result like a win or a draw, we have seen through recent form and season statistics that Barnsley has what it takes to accomplish that task. And the fact that Barnsley only needs to avoid defeat makes it a more achievable result.

👉 Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

It's hard to see too many goals in this match between Cardiff and Barnsley given their lack of goalscoring ability.

That is why we project the total to go under 2.5 goals. So if 2 or fewer goals are scored, the bet wins.
