1st Prediction for Bristol City vs Cardiff City: Both teams to score (No) 91/100
In Cardiff City’s previous five Championship matches, the Bluebirds have only seen both teams score once – this was in a 4-1 away defeat at Hull City. So far this season, only three games that the Welsh outfit have been a part of have featured both sides finding the back of the net. Furthermore, a 0-0 draw to Sheffield Wednesday mid-week was Bristol City’s third league game in which they have failed to score. Cardiff have been lacking attacking threat this season and an absence of many goals could be on the cards. In the two sides’ past five meetings with each other, only one team has managed to score in each fixture.
2nd Prediction for Bristol City vs Cardiff City: Sinclair Armstrong to score at anytime 2/1
One player who has been a shining light for Bristol City so far this season, is Sinclair Armstrong. Having signed from Queens Park Rangers in the summer, the 21-year-old has scored twice for the Robins and could add another against Ömer Riza’s side. Armstrong scored in a 2-1 victory over Oxford United as well as in a blockbuster 4-3 win against Millwall. With both of his goals coming at Ashton Gate, the striker could notch his third of the season this Sunday. Armstrong has taken 15 shots so far this campaign and also agonisingly hit the post against Swansea City.
3rd Prediction for Bristol City vs Cardiff City: First team to score (Bristol City) 29/50
As the more attacking side this season, Bristol City can expect to be on the front-foot regularly compared to Cardiff City in this head-to-head. The Robins scored first in their opening three games of the campaign. Despite an unfortunate spell of fixtures lately, City could look to rejuvenate their early threat against 24th-placed Cardiff. With firepower from Armstrong, new-signing Fally Mayulu, and Scott Twine, Liam Manning’s team may overwhelm the away side with an opening onslaught. They seem the most likely of the two to strike first.

Full preview of the game: last results and head-to-head
Bristol City will be hoping to add another three points to their Championship tally, as they look to push out of their mid-table comfort zone this season. However, Cardiff City find themselves in an unusual last-placed position, holding up the rest of the second division. The Bluebirds’ first win of the season came on Tuesday with a 1-0 scoreline. Bristol City are being heralded as the favourites heading into this one, but the two outfits’ last three head-to-head meetings have resulted in a Cardiff win. Last season’s latter meeting between the two, saw the away side emerge victorious. A 1-0 triumph, thanks to a Perry Ng winner in the 66th minute, was enough to steal all three points from Ashton Gate that day.
Prior to this, in 2023, both fixtures between the two at the Cardiff City stadium allowed the home side to run out as 2-0 winners. Ng was on the scoresheet once more, and it wouldn’t come as a shock to see the 28-year-old grab another against the Robins on Sunday.
