Cardiff City vs Chelsea Bet Builder Tips – 4/1 EFL Cup Special, Analysis & Predictions

Turning their attention back to EFL Cup action on Tuesday night, Chelsea will look to punch their semi-final ticket when they travel to Cardiff.

Claiming what was a much-welcomed boost over the weekend as they secured a 2-0 victory at home against Everton, Enzo Maresca’s men are desperate to now find some crucial stability ahead of a stacked winter schedule.

Although Cardiff might be bracing themselves for a monumental showdown in midweek, the Bluebirds are enjoying a stellar League One romp and will be relishing a famous battle in Wales.

Ahead of Tuesday’s quarter-final contest, we have taken a glance at some of the most appealing Cardiff City vs Chelsea Bet Builder Tips.

Chelsea looking to run rampant

Collecting a heavyweight Champions League scalp on November 25th as they stormed their way to an empathic 3-0 victory against Barcelona, Chelsea found themselves in the midst of a real flurry.

However, suffering a four-match winless rut on either side of opening December, it had been suggested that Maresca had once again found some increasing pressure on his shoulders.

Claiming an essential boost over the weekend as they secured a 2-0 win at home against Everton, Chelsea will certainly be smelling a golden opportunity here.

With it looking like EFL Cup success is their most likely route to getting their hands on a piece of silverware this season, Maresca’s side do hold a dominant record against Cardiff.

Including a trio of 4-1 victories, Chelsea have won all of their last five consecutive showdowns against Tuesday’s hosts by an aggregate score of 16-5.

Estevao to steal centre stage

While England international Cole Palmer might have marked his Premier League return with a strike against Everton on Saturday, Maresca will certainly make a string of alterations here.

With many of Chelsea’s fringe attacking stars should be relishing an opportunity to stake their claim ahead of a stacked winter schedule.

Only making a cameo appearance off the bench at Stamford Bridge, 18-year-old sensation Estevao will certainly be handed a full recall on Tuesday night.

Making a permanent move from Brazilian giants Palmeiras over the summer, Estevao has embarked on a real rise to superstardom and has quickly cemented his spot as a real fan favourite around west London.

Already making his senior debut for Brazil this year, Chelsea’s new budding superstar has already recorded a trio of Champions League strikes and has also registered 11 direct goal contributions for club and country this season.

A monumental challenge for the Bluebirds

Coming under a huge amount of scrutiny last season as they lost their Championship status with a whimper, Cardiff have made it clear that their sole focus is on clinching an immediate second-tier return.

However, flying out of the traps and leading the chase at the top of the League One table, Tuesday’s hosts are rightfully installed as a landslide promotion contender this year.

Eventually claiming what was a thrilling 4-3 victory against Doncaster over the weekend, the Bluebirds have won all of their previous five League One appearances and the mood in their camp remains at a red-hot high.

Despite falling to what was a sensational 5-1 drumming at the hands of AFC Wimbledon earlier in the month, Cardiff have also largely impressed with their success on home soil.

Including a 3-2 win against Huddersfield last week, Tuesday’s hosts have won five of their last six showdowns in front of their own supporters.
