Cardiff are in a rough patch. Over their last five games they have lost four and drawn once, and they have been conceding quite a few goals along the way. Southampton are not exactly flying either, but they won one of their recent matches and held a team to a goalless draw last time out, so they look a bit steadier. The two sides have not met recently, so there is no history of high-scoring meetings to go on.

Given Cardiff's poor run and Southampton's slightly better form, this looks like a match Southampton are more likely to win. Cardiff will be hoping home advantage helps them stop the slide, but based on what each team has shown lately, Southampton look the stronger side and should come away with the win.
