Championship: Cardiff to close on play-off spot by beating Robins

Long-serving Cardiff playmaker Peter Whittingham can never be ruled out because of brilliance from dead balls, and anytime odds again of 7/2 should also appeal to punters.

Robins combination of Wilbraham and Cox

Bristol City skipper Aaron Wilbraham may be a veteran frontman now, but he twice found the net in their previous televised outing, and is a terrific 13/2 to grab the opener again.

On-loan Reading striker Simon Cox, meanwhile hit a memorable hat-trick in West Bromwich Albion colours against the Bluebirds during a League Cup tie, so should be considered at 2/1 anytime.

One-time Rotherham teammates Agard and Revell face off

For two years, Cardiff forward Alex Revell (15/8 anytime) and Robins attacker Kieran Agard (11/4 in that market) played together up front for Rotherham United, but coming up against one another makes for an interesting subplot.

There is thus enough firepower in these respective frontlines to see the trend of a home win with both teams scoring continue and thus being a safe bet at 7/2. Such a result will bring Slade’s side to the cusp of the play-off places.
