Wrexham v Cardiff Tips

Wrexham are a different side at home than they are away although they put up a good fight against promotion hopefuls Middlesbrough on the weekend. Cardiff are in a division below and have had some good results lately but you'd fancy the home side.

High-flying League One leaders Cardiff meet Championship side Wrexham. This is the first meeting of any kind since 2002 between the sides, with Cardiff often operating at a higher level. The visitors have lost just once on the road this season, while the hosts have won just once at home in their respective leagues. Wrexham have never gone past this stage in this cup.

This all-Welsh match always produces goals, and this should be no exception. Wrexham are particularly potent in front of their own fans.

This is a League Cup game. Cardiff has won 8, drawn 2, and lost 3 of their 13 league games played and sits top of League 1 with 26 points, losing their last league game played 1-0 away against Bolton. Cardiff has scored 21 goals and conceded 11 goals in their 13 league games played. Wrexham has won 3, drawn 5, and lost 4 of their 12 league games played and sits 16th in the Championship with 14 points, drawing their last league game played 1-1 away against Middlesbrough. Wrexham has scored 16 goals and conceded 17 goals in their 12 league games played. The last time these two teams met was in League 1 in the 2001/02 season when Cardiff did the double over Wrexham, 3-2 at home and 1-3 in this fixture. I am taking both teams to score in this game tonight.
