Both teams scored and conceded freely last season. Wrexham found the net regularly in the Championship but kept only 12 clean sheets in 46 games. Cardiff plundered 90 goals in League One and conceded in almost two thirds of their matches. That points firmly to both teams scoring. The under 4.5 side is just as sound. Cardiff and Wrexham averaged around three goals per game last season, so five-goal thrillers are the exception, not the rule. Their one recent meeting, a 2-1 Cardiff win, landed both halves of this bet.<br><\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Sam Smith<\/strong> <strong>to score anytime and Liberato Cacace<\/strong> <strong>to be booked<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">17\/2<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Sam Smith gives this bet its backbone. He scored eight Championship goals last season despite starting just 16 games, and five of them were headers. That aerial threat should worry a Cardiff defence stepping up from League One. Whenever Smith starts, his record says he scores at a healthy rate. Liberato Cacace is the longshot that stretches the price. He is a full-back in what should be a charged Welsh derby, the kind of game where bookings pile up. Back this one for Smith; treat the Cacace booking as the hopeful extra rather than the anchor.<br><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button sq-ptips2-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/sky-bet?q=gb-all-tmp-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer noopener\">Back these tips with Sky Bet \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sq-ptips2__foot wp-block-paragraph\">18+ only.

That attacking momentum, allied to the atmosphere of a Welsh derby under the lights, makes them dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yousef Salech and Callum Robinson lead the line and will fancy their chances of adding to their tallies. The step back up to the Championship is a test, but on this evidence Cardiff will back themselves to hit the ground running at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-wrexham-go-into-the-game\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Wrexham go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wrexham are no longer the fairytale newcomers but established Championship performers, finishing seventh last season on 71 points and pushing for the play-offs. They scored 69 goals but also shipped 65, so they rarely play out dull games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kieffer Moore and Sam Smith give them a physical, direct threat up front, and the Welsh derby will hold no fear for a side used to punching above its weight. Silencing a fired-up home crowd early will be the aim.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12123255\/fx12_card.jpg\" alt=\"Cardiff City vs Wrexham: 2025-26 by the numbers\" class=\"wp-image-1479067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12123255\/fx12_card.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12123255\/fx12_card-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12123255\/fx12_card-1024x551.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12123255\/fx12_card-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12123255\/fx12_card-400x215.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12123255\/fx12_card-372x200.jpg 372w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12123255\/fx12_card-112x60.jpg 112w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12123255\/fx12_card-150x81.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12123255\/fx12_card-138x74.jpg 138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-cardiff-city-vs-wrexham-head-to-head\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cardiff City vs Wrexham head-to-head<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Home<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Away<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">28\/10\/25<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Wrexham<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1-2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Cardiff City<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These sides have rarely crossed paths in recent years, spending long spells in different divisions.
