EFL Cup: Wrexham vs Cardiff City 28/10/2025

Betting on Next Round Placement

A keenly anticipated Welsh derby last 16 takes placce in the League cup on Tuesday night.. This game has been brewing for a while as Wrexham have been flying through the leagues, but it looked like it wouldn’t happen this season after the capital city’s relegation from the Championship and Wrexham’s promotion, they effectively changed places on the same day last season. Being a Spurs fan that lives in Cardiff I’ve got an eye on this one and I can tell you there’s been plenty of interest in tickets from the local Bluebird fans. This is the first meeting between the two clubs since 2002 and Wrexham will be keen to try and show a changing of the guard by beating their historical superiors. With Cardiff top of League 1 and Wrexham 19th in the Championship, promotion and survival might have been the main concern for both these sides instead of this competition, but this North /South Wales derby cup fixture means that both teams and fans will be focused on gaining gloating rights and a lucrative quarter-final place and we should see 2 full-strength line-ups. Rubin Colwill is my tip for a Cardiff scorer, failing that Yousef Salach would try and head a jumbo jet into the goal if it was flying low enough. Wrexham have former Cardiff man Kieffer Moore in their line up and he will fancy a goal against his old side.

Wrexham let me down with my last prediction on them, and what I’m going to say here isn’t going to make me popular down my local pub but I think Wrexham are going to target through in this one. Penalties are a lottery, so go for them to do the job without needing them and you can get odds at an excellent 2.35 with 1xBet to do just that.
