Cardiff City vs Peterborough prediction
Cardiff play their first match of League One since being relegated from the Championship last season.
They faced a tough year in that division with a fair few teams still searching for a route back into the Premier League.
And that divide between the top Championship sides and Premier League ready teams against the below mid-table Championship teams seems to grow.
Peterborough were really struggling last year and ended the season with two draws and two losses including a 4-2 loss at home to Mansfield and a final game of the season also losing at home to Rotherham.
Cardiff found two draws and two losses too, but faced the likes of West Brom, Norwich and Sheffield United.
Cardiff City vs Peterborough betting tips
These two sides haven’t been in the same division since 2022 and that was their first season together too in nine years, also when meeting in the Championship again.
However, now they meet again as Cardiff have slipped into the third tier again.
While Peterborough also struggle though and haven’t made those significant strides that suggest they can have a big turnaround.
As such it’s no surprise to see Cardiff a huge odds-on price.
There’s no guarantee this early but Cardiff still look a good price with a bet builder.
