While many expected Zebre to be towards the bottom of the table at this stage, few will have expected Cardiff Blues to be alongside them. It has been a very disappointing start for them and they are currently bottom of the Conference A standings with just ten points and two wins from seven games. The pressure is piling on Cardiff, and this weekend they have a game they should win, expectations will be high and many people will want to see a convincing performance from them.

Cardiff Blues vs Zebre Preview

Many have been disappointed by the start that Cardiff have made this season, and they disappointed yet again last weekend when they were beaten 30-17 by Scarlets. They have the ability within their squad to turn this around, but after so many poor performances their fans, and those who continue to back them are running out of patience.

Zebre started the season very poorly, with three big defeats and things didn’t look too good for them at that stage. However, in recent weeks they have really turned around their form, winning two games and losing their other two by just one point. The team have shown great battling qualities, even in defeat and things are looking up for them.

Cardiff Blues vs Zebre Prediction

For yet another game, the Cardiff Blues are huge favourites despite have a very poor season so far. They should win the game comfortably, but with so much pressure on them to perform it won’t be easy playing in front of their own fans.

Zebre will head into the game with nothing to lose and no one expects them to win because they are huge underdogs. However, their recent form will give them hope that they can either sneak a shock victory, or keep the game tight.

Cardiff Blues vs Zebre Betting Tips

Despite Cardiff’s poor form recently, and Zebre’s upturn in form, the handicap line on this game is 16 at SportingBet. They have Zebre with a +16 advantage and that represents great value in what is going to be a difficult game for Cardiff to play. Their lack of form was really easy to see in their past matches in Pro14. Cardiff can be backed at a good price with SportingBet in this handicap, who are offering the best handicap line on the game. Plus, Zebre is 5th in the Pro14 standings, while Cardiff is 7th.

Betfair have the game priced up with Zebre at a nice value to win outright, which is too high to resist. They are huge underdogs in the game, but the pressure is all on Cardiff here and they could cause a huge upset in Wales on Saturday. While Cardiff should be doing much better, until they show that on the pitch, we won’t be backing them. For more betting markets, make sure to check our rugby union betting odds page.
