- 3rd Prediction: Perry Ng to be carded 3/1
1st Prediction For Plymouth Argyle vs Cardiff City: Plymouth Argyle to win 17/10
The appointment of Miron Muslic has massively revitalised Plymouth Argyle’s season and they are one point away from safety after they were previously at risk of being cut adrift at the bottom of the Championship table. Despite this, the bookmakers are still offering reasonable odds on predicting an Argyle win. The Devon-based side have won three of their last five games in all competitions, including an historic one-nil victory over Premier League giants Liverpool in the FA Cup, and they have only lost one of their last five league games. This means that, even though they currently occupy 23rd position in the Championship, they are seventh in the form guide. The Bluebirds have been in average form of late, picking up five points from their last five league games, though they have also progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup. Plymouth’s momentum combined with home advantage should be enough to carry them to victory on Saturday lunchtime.
2nd Prediction For Plymouth Argyle vs Cardiff City: Over 2.5 goals 9/10
Those looking for a safer prediction should consider predicting over 2.5 goals. In their last five league games, Plymouth Argyle fans have seen 17 goals, both for and against, which equates to an average of 3.4 goals per game. Over the course of the entire season, there have been over three goals in Plymouth games on average. As for Cardiff City, their fans have seen a staggering 19 goals in their last five league games which is an average of just under four goals per game. Given both sides’ positions in the table, it is likely that both Ömer Riza and Miron Muslic will send their sides out to attack and secure a victory over their relegation rivals. As they are both in good form in front of goal, Plymouth have scored nine times in their last five games whilst Cardiff have scored seven in the same period, it is likely that Saturday’s encounter will be somewhat of a goal-fest.
3rd Prediction For Stoke City vs Cardiff City: Perry Ng to be carded 3/1
Cardiff’s defence has been very exposed and notoriously leaky this season as they have conceded 1.7 goals per game on average. This has left the likes of Perry Ng in very dangerous defensive situations and he has needed to make a lot of tactical fouls for the good of his team. Therefore, predicting Ng to receive a card on Saturday could be wise. The 28-year-old, with over 150 Cardiff City appearances, already has eight cards in the league this campaign, more than 97% of players to make an appearance in the Championship. Additionally, Ng only commits 1.2 fouls per 90, which suggests that, when he does make an unfair tackle, it results in a yellow card a disproportionately high number of times.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Plymouth Argyle head into Saturday’s relegation six-pointer sitting in 23rd place in the Championship having picked up just 29 points from 33 games. But, Miron Muslic’s men have been in good form of late, winning two and drawing two of their last five league games as well as beating Liverpool in the FA Cup. The Austrian will be expecting his side to continue their good form and win against a team who have won just once away from home all season in order to take them out of the drop zone.
Ömer Riza, on the other hand, will be anxious for his side to find some consistency after a mixed run of form in recent weeks. The Bluebirds currently sit in 20th place in the Championship with 32 points from 32 games, but they are just three points away from the drop zone. In recent weeks, they have secured an excellent win over fellow strugglers Derby County at the Cardiff City Stadium but they have also been thrashed seven-nil at the hands of Leeds United. A win on Saturday would be huge for Cardiff as it could take them six points clear of the drop.
Riza will be hoping that his team can replicate the performance they put in against Plymouth earlier in the season. As manager at the time Wayne Rooney was serving a touchline ban, Plymouth were quite frankly embarrassed by Cardiff as they beat them five-nil. The Welsh giants had 24 shots, 11 of which were on target, and they accumulated 2.48 xG.
