Cardiff’s mid-season demise was largely due to their key man hitting a bad patch. Chopra, scorer of 17 league goals this season made sure all that had been put to rest with 4 goals in his last 2 league games and things are already starting to look less gloomy. It could be just the right time to pick up where they left off 12 league games ago, that is, to keep on winning. Even the loss of Scimeca and Purse for this clash could not dampen the spirits and Cardiff would definitely want to make it 3 wins in a row to restore their former invincibility. Barnsley’s visit could just be the ideal opponents. Despite Barnsley’s 2 wins in their previous 2 league games, they flatter to deceive. In their last game, I felt Barnsley deserved at most a draw. Uncertainty to deadline-day signings could also hamper their preparations for this clash and the lack of a proven goal-scorer could count against them, especially when Chopra is in fine form. In terms of ability, Cardiff definitely outshines Barnsley. At the same time, Cardiff’s home record spots a mere 2 losses in the league all season. All in all, I am looking forward to Cardiff finally fulfilling their potential in this league once more and record a good win over Barnsley. Cardiff to win 2-0.
