  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Swansea City AFC that had 383 games and scored 472 goals.
  • 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Chris Willock suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Cardiff City FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 35' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Ethan Horvath made 351 appearances and scored 3 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 50' Benjamin Cabango has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 2 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
