Saturday’s early kick-off in the Championship comes from the Welsh capital, as rivals Cardiff City and Swansea City prepare to lock horns once again.
These sides played out a 1-1 draw when they met at the Liberty Stadium back in August, with Callum Robinson’s 79th-minute effort cancelling out Liam Cullen’s 10th-minute opener.
Cardiff find themselves teetering just above the relegation zone but they have done remarkably well to be in this position, considering the dreadful start they made to the Championship campaign.
Unbeaten in their last four games, new manager Omer Riza has made the Bluebirds a much tougher team to beat.
With rivals Swansea in town this weekend, Cardiff look capable of keeping that unbeaten run going, even if they do miss out on all three points.
Draw and both teams to score - 7/2
As mentioned, Cardiff have made themselves a tougher nut to crack in recent weeks and their results in the Championship have demonstrated just that.
All of Cardiff’s last three league games have finished 1-1, with draws against Coventry City, Middlesbrough and Watford.
Given the recent trend and the fact Cardiff and Swansea played out a 1-1 draw at the Liberty earlier this season, there’s value to be had at 7/2 in backing the scoring draw in Saturday’s showdown.
Those a little more adventurous could also look to the 1-1 in the correct score market, with odds of 5/1 available.
Callum Robinson anytime goalscorer - 3/1
The saviour for Cardiff in that first meeting with Swansea this season, Callum Robinson, catches the eye to find the back of the net once again on Saturday.
With eight goals in the Championship this season, Robinson is way out in front when it comes to Cardiff’s top goalscorer, with team-mate Alexander Robertson the second highest with three.
After a red card against Coventry, Robinson has served his three-game suspension and is likely to come straight back into the starting line-up at the expense of Chris Willock.
Fresh after his spell on the sidelines and with a point to prove, Robinson appeals at 3/1 in the anytime goalscorer market to make a scoring return in this South Wales derby.
Liam Cullen anytime goalscorer - 11/4
A player who has often been a thorn in Cardiff’s side, Liam Cullen is another player who is worth considering in the anytime goalscorer market.
Scoring in that last meeting against the Bluebirds, Cullen has now netted in his last three games against Cardiff when named in the starting line-up.
Wales international Cullen bagged himself a brace on Boxing Day in a 3-0 win over Queens Park Rangers but is yet to find the back of the net in the Championship this month.
Given his record in this particular fixture, the 25-year-old is good value to open his goalscoring account for 2025 and add another goal in the South Wales derby to his growing collection.
