Cardiff City vs Leeds United Prediction and Betting Tips | September 21st 2024
Cardiff City will host Leeds United at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have endured a near-disastrous start to their season and currently find themselves rock-bottom in the Championship standings with just one point from five matches.
They were beaten 1-0 by newly-promoted Derby County in their last match, falling behind midway through the first half and failing to find a way back into the game despite an improved second-half display.
Leeds United, meanwhile, have had a rather disappointing start to their season with head coach Daniel Farke now under pressure to deliver results. They were beaten 1-0 by Burnley at Elland Road last time out, unable to cancel out the Clarets' first-half opener despite dominating possession for the majority of the game.
The Whites sit ninth in the league table with eight points from an obtainable 15. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and begin their promotion charge this weekend.

Cardiff are on a three-game losing streak and are without a win in their last five games. They have lost four of their last five games at the Cardiff City Stadium and have a mountain to climb this weekend.
Leeds' latest result ended a run of back-to-back victories and they will look to bounce back here. They have had the upper hand in this fixture in recent games and should come out on top on Saturday.
