Prediction

  • A second-half goal from right-back Kyle Walker-Peters proved enough to earn Southampton all three points against Bristol City on Wednesday night.
  • The Saints are now unbeaten in their last ten Championship matches, but the form of the top three is making it tough to make up significant ground in the promotion race.
  • Cardiff failed to produce a response to Jeremy Sarmiento's 50th-minute goal on Tuesday night as they went on to suffer a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Carlos Corberan's in-form West Brom side.
  • Away form remains a strength for the Bluebirds, who have picked up seven points from their last three away league games.
