Cardiff will be playing Championship football next season should they fail to get anything other than a win when they take on Crystal Palace this Saturday.

PaddyPower Pre-Match Odds: Cardiff 6/4, Draw 5/2, Crystal Palace 13/8*

 

The pressure cooker has been switched to its highest setting as Cardiff put plan C into action in their last-ditch attempt to remain in the Premier League. 

 

Last weekend the south Wales side missed out on a chance to close the gap to Brighton to just two points when they lost to already relegated Fulham. 

 

Neil Warnock’s side now rely on Arsenal to beat their south coast relegation rivals and, rely on themselves to beat Crystal Palace.

 

This certainly won’t be easy as the Eagles come into this game with the sixth best away record in the entire Premier League. In fact, Palace have won five of their last seven games away from home. 

 

The Bluebirds will certainly remember the last time Palace paid them a visit in the top flight. This took place in 2014 when the Eagles claimed an impressive 3-0 win. 

 

Bearing all that in mind, the recommendation is to back a Palace victory in the outright market. 

 

Recommendation

Crystal Palace to win – 17/10 bet365*
