The team is characterized by an excellent balance between the offensive and defensive sectors since it has scored 16 goals, being the fourth best attack of the competition, and suffered only 3 goals, having the defense less leaked, but it is worth mentioning that its front line can yield even more for the tremendous quality of its athletes in this sector. Playing at home, as the match of Saturday, Liverpool has the second best use of the national and it is worth noting that he has not conceded a goal in all five games he played in this type of situation, again showing the great quality of his defense that leaves very few spaces. For the confrontation against Cardiff City, coach Jurgen Klopp has the return of striker Sadio Mané who has recovered from a broken finger and is fit to take the field.
Analysis of Cardiff City
After 1 win, 2 draws and 6 losses, the visiting team is in 17th place, having won 5 points. In the last match, they beat Fulham at home (4-2), after losing to Tottenham in their last match (1-0). In the league, Cardiff City had 1 point in 12 chances, after 1 draw and 3 defeats in their last 4 away games.

For this competition, you have not won any of the last 4 games outside of your stadium. Defensive solidity has not been his strong point, having conceded goals in 7 of the last 9 games for this competition. The team has had many difficulties in scoring first. Indeed, it only opened the scoring once in the last 9 matches for the Barclays Premier League. In 9 games in this competition, he suffered the first goal 6 times and only got 1 turn on the scoreboard. In the last 5 away games for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: suffered 3 of his 7 goals between minutes (76'-90 ').

Cardiff City have a disastrous campaign in the Premier League, but they have their first win in the last round and are looking for more points to try to move away from the relegation zone. The team has serious problems in both the offensive and defensive sectors, since it has scored only 8 goals, being the fifth worst attack of the national, and suffered 19 goals, having the second defense more leaked and these figures help to explain the poor performance so far . Playing away from home, as the match on Saturday, Cardiff City have accumulated 3 losses and 1 draw, having conceded 7 goals and scored only 1, evidencing the enormous difficulty of acting away from their domains where it hardly harms opponents and still leaves many spaces behind. For the confrontation with Liverpool, coach Warnock will not be able to rely on midfielder Joe Ralls who suffered a serious knee injury and, in any event, would be suspended for the accumulation of cards.

Betting Tip:
This confrontation tends to be quite unbalanced, since the principal has world-wide cast and fights for the leadership of the national, while the visitor has cast of low quality and fights to leave the last placements. In addition, Liverpool have yet to concede home goals after 5 games, as well as a powerful attack by Salah, Mané and Firmino who often rock their net frequently, while Cardiff have scored just 1 goal in their 4 away games . Given these factors, we believe Liverpool dominate the game from the start and finish the first half already in advantage on the scoreboard.
