Bitesize Prediction: Cardiff vs Burton – 30/09/25

Competition: League One

Market: Cardiff City win

Odds: 1/2 @ Pribet

Two camps who already find themselves scrapping it out at opposite ends of the League One table, Cardiff will welcome Burton to South Wales on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, after losing their Championship status with a real whimper last season, it is no secret that Cardiff have their sights set on clinching an immediate second-tier return this time around. Last seen over the weekend putting in a gritty performance as they clinched a routine 2-0 victory away at Wigan, Brian Barry-Murphy will be demanding a repeat display from his squad here. Collecting a Premier League scalp last week as they extended on their EFL Cup adventure thanks to a shock 2-1 victory away at Burnley, the Bluebirds have won three of their previous four appearances across all competitions. Getting the 2025/26 campaign underway with a 2-1 win at home against Peterborough on August 2nd, Cardiff have suffered just a single defeat across any format so far this season. Opening Tuesday’s fixtures sat within touching distance of skyrocketing to the top of the League One table, the former Rochdale boss should be smelling a golden opportunity in midweek.

As for the visitors, while Cardiff might be dreaming of the chance to book an immediate Championship return this season, Burton have a real battle on their hands in the race to keep hold of their League One status. Last seen over the weekend putting in a nightmare performance as they slumped to a 4-0 drumming at the home against Plymouth, the Brewers will be bracing themselves for another stern examination here. Marking their return from September’s international break with a 1-0 loss against Lincoln, Gary Bowyer’s side sit rock-bottom of the League One table and have put just five points on the board from any of their first eight third-tier appearances. Pencilled in as a standout relegation candidate this year, Tuesday’s guests have also shown some glaring attacking issues. Signing off August with a 3-0 defeat against Luton, it should be highlighted that Burton have failed to record a single strike in almost 450 minutes of League One action.
