(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 23, 2012 ) London, UK -- Cardiff City are set to overturn a 1-0 deficit and beat Crystal Palace in their semi final second leg clash to reach the Carling Cup final according to free bet website writer David Walker.
Cardiff go into the match full of confidence after coming from behind to beat Portsmouth 3-2 on Saturday, taking their home record to eight wins in their last nine matches.
A heavily-changed Palace side lost 2-1 at Blackpool and have now lost four out of six on the road since winning at Manchester United in the quarter final of the Carling Cup.
The Eagles' away record this season makes grim reading – only the bottom two clubs in the Championship have lost more games on the road than Dougie Freedman's team. They are up against a side that are bettered only by Southampton and Peterborough in terms of goals scored at home.
If Cardiff win the tie at Palace's expense, it will be their third Wembley final in four years, having reached the FA Cup final in 2008 and Championship Play Off final in 2010.
“Cardiff are the bookmakers favourites and are odds-on to win over 90 minutes” said Walker, “but Palace will be no pushovers”.
“Palace looked a decent enough side during the first leg and Wilfred Zaha looks a real threat. Cardiff need to be mindful not to concede an early goal otherwise they will have a mountain to climb."
“Having attended the Championship match between these two at the Cardiff City Stadium last November, I maintain the Bluebirds have nothing to fear from the visitors."
“Although, some question marks have been raised about the capabilities of both goalkeepers – Tom Heaton and David Marshall, in recent matches” added Walker.
