Cardiff City and Leicester City meet for the fifth time this season tonight in the second leg of their Coca Cola Championship playoff at Cardiff City Stadium. The other semifinal pits Blackpool against Nottingham Forest. Cardiff City is coming off a first leg win at Walkers Stadium last weekend from a free kick that found the back of the net by Peter Whittingham. That has put the odds on Cardiff City’s side to make it to the Wembley Final.
Cardiff has a great record over Leicester City, with three wins and one loss in the last four matches. On top of that, Cardiff City has just one loss at home in 2010. Their manager, David Jones, is familiar with promotion battles like these and is prepared to get them to the final against either Blackpool or Nottingham Forest. If they make a run at it, it will be the first time ever that Cardiff City makes it to the Premier League.
Cardiff City played better on both sides of the ball against Leicester City last weekend, making them a good bet for at least another 1-0 victory. Some nice offers can be found on correct score bets for this match. Cardiff City has everything to play for so look for them to lay it all on the line. Jay Bothroyd, formerly with Arsenal and Coventry, is having a career season with the club and has nice value to score the first goal of the match.
