A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : England: League One
Venue: Cardiff City Stadium
Saturday 21st March 2026, 1230hrs (GMT)
Cardiff City will be eager to set the record straight on Saturday lunchtime when they play host to Blackpool at their Cardiff City Stadium following a disappointing 2-0 loss at home to Wycombe Wanderers in midweek.
Cardiff City still occupy one of the two automatic promotion places in the League One table and hold a comfortable 10-point cushion between themselves and 3rd placed Bolton Wanderers but recent results have been rather a mixed bag of late.
Indeed, The Bluebirds have managed to pick up just two wins within their last six games in League One which came in the form of important victories against Doncaster Rovers and Exeter City, both by comprehensive 4-0 margins.
However, three defeats and a draw suggest the goals markets are the best option for this upcoming clash especially as 13 of Cardiff City’s 19 home games to date have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.
Blackpool occupy fourth from bottom in the League One table and therefore amongst the relegation pack ahead of this tough looking trip to Wales on Saturday lunchtime, but Ian Evatt’s side will head into this encounter on the back of a welcome 3-2 home win against Port Vale in midweek.
Blackpool had previously endured a worrying five-game winless run in the domestic third tier which included losses at the hands of Lincoln City 4-0, AFC Wimbledon 4-1 and Doncaster Rovers 2-1 respectively, all of which were away from home.
The bigger picture shows The Seasiders have registered just two wins within their previous 11 matches overall in the third tier while also possessing a poor looking away record which stands at 3-3-13 17/35 so far on their travels.
The Betting Verdict
Cardiff City are expected to produce a fast start against a poor-travelling Blackpool outfit here.
The Pick :
Cardiff City 2-1 Blackpool
