Our Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Cardiff City predictions for today’s 3pm (UK time) kick-off back Over 10.5 corners at 5/6 (BoyleSports), with our score prediction Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 Cardiff City. Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Cardiff City predictions and betting tips headline the Championship‘s Saturday 3pm kick-offs, with a promotion-chasing Wolves hosting a Cardiff side who cannot buy a win on the road.
Molineux stages a contest of contrasts on Saturday 31 October: the hosts sit fourth and are tough to beat at home, while the Bluebirds have been excellent in south Wales but woeful away from it. Here is how we see it, with Anthony Eadson’s best bets.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has gone through the card at Molineux and landed on two Premium Tips, taking the best prices across our featured bookmakers.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 10.5 corners | 5/6 (BoyleSports) | Wolves have pushed plenty of pressure onto their opponents at Molineux, and Cardiff’s away trips have been one-way traffic defensively, with 11 goals conceded in six on the road. With the hosts expected to dominate and Cardiff forced to defend deep and in numbers, the flag-kicks should pile up at one end. Ten or more corners has been a regular feature of games at Molineux this season, so 10.5 looks a beatable line at a fair price. With Cardiff set up to soak up pressure, the set-piece count should only grow as the game wears on. |
| Wolves to win to nil | 11/4 (Sky Bet) | Wolves have lost just once in six at Molineux and carry the quality to see this off, while Cardiff have managed only six goals in six away games and kept the opposition out just once all season. A clean-sheet home win looks the percentage call here. Cardiff have won none of their six on the road, losing four of them, and a settled Wolves outfit will fancy shutting out a visiting attack that so often goes quiet on its travels. |

How Wolverhampton Wanderers go into the game
Wolverhampton Wanderers go into the weekend sitting fourth in the Championship on 21 points, right in the promotion mix. Wolves have won two of their last five and arrive on the back of a 1-0 home win over Watford, having also won 2-1 at Burnley during that stretch.
At Molineux they have been steady, losing just once in six home games while scoring 10 and conceding seven. That solid base, allied to real quality going forward, makes them clear favourites against a side with such a poor record away from home.
How Cardiff City go into the game
Cardiff City sit 16th on 14 points and remain a puzzle, superb at home yet dreadful on their travels. The Bluebirds have won three of their last five overall, beating Birmingham 1-0 most recently, but every one of those wins has come on home soil.
Away from Cardiff, the story could hardly be more different. They have taken just two points from six trips, winning none and losing four, and have shipped 11 goals in the process. That record makes life hard against a promotion-chasing Wolves side at a noisy Molineux.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Cardiff City head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 02/03/19 | Wolverhampton Wanderers | 2-0 | Cardiff City |
| 30/11/18 | Cardiff City | 2-1 | Wolverhampton Wanderers |
| 06/04/18 | Cardiff City | 1-0 | Wolverhampton Wanderers |
| 19/08/17 | Wolverhampton Wanderers | 1-2 | Cardiff City |
| 01/04/17 | Wolverhampton Wanderers | 3-1 | Cardiff City |
These two have history, and it is closer than Wolves’ current standing suggests. Wolves have won three of the last five league meetings to Cardiff’s two, and the most recent, back in March 2019, went the way of Wolves by 2-0.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Cardiff City predictions & betting tips
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wolverhampton Wanderers | 8/13 (Betway) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Wolves have lost just once in six at Molineux, while Cardiff are still without a win in six away from home. |
| Both teams to score – No | 13/8 (Sky Bet) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Cardiff have managed only six goals in six on the road, and the hosts have three clean sheets to their name this term. |
| Under 2.5 goals | 7/4 (Paddy Power) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Cardiff have scored just six times in six away games, pointing to a controlled, low-scoring afternoon for the favourites. |
| Wolves 2-0 | 10/1 (Betfred) | ⭐⭐ | Wolves won this exact fixture 2-0 at home the last time the pair met in the league back in 2019. |
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Cardiff City score prediction
A low-scoring home win feels the likeliest outcome. Cardiff’s away form is a genuine worry, and the hosts have the quality to control this and edge it without conceding. Score prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 Cardiff City.
