Cardiff City FC v Wolverhampton Wanderers TIPS
Odds updated regularly. Odds may be delayed.
Cardiff City are in a great position to claim automatic promotion to the Premier League at the end of this season. Currently in 2nd, there is a good gap between themselves and Fulham in 3rd place. Their promotion hopes are very much in their own hands.
For the home side, Aron Gunnarsson is only recently back from injury but he is expected to be fine to play from the start here. Gary Madine will hope to start but he is more likely to be on the bench and used as an impact sub on this occasion. Neil Warnock will stick with the 4-3-3 formation that has served them well this season.
Wolves are still the favourites to win the Championship and have a good gap between themselves and their opponents on Friday. They have been fantastic since Nuno Espirito Santo took over and a place in the Premier League is all but a certainty.
Wolves will have Matt Dohery and Ruben Neves back available for selection after they will have served their suspensions after the duo received red cards against Middlesbrough on Good Friday. Diogo Jota is a doubt for the match with a slight knock.

Cardiff City vs Wolves Prediction
Both of these sides have been in incredible form recently, and if they are to finish as the top 2 in the Championship this season then it will certainly be well deserved. Cardiff’s 1-1 draw with Sheffield United ended a run of 8 successive wins.
Wolves have lost a few recently but there are no signs of them failing in their promotion push. They have undoubtedly been the best team in the league and will go into this game looking to assert their dominance over their nearest challengers.
These two sides are quite evenly matched and Cardiff’s home advantage will cancel out Wolves’ added quality. The tip is for a draw in an entertaining contest.
