Cardiff vs. West Ham prediction
West Ham needs a response after losing their last two games at home. Any away match could be what the Hammers need to get away from the negativity at the London Stadium. Nuno also needs a victory and a good performance to ward off rumours about him being replaced.
Cardiff go into this game on the back of a 3-0 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers. This result left them 17th in the division. Their results have been mixed recently, with two wins, two losses, and one draw in their last five games. The two victories came at home, but I am still going to go for West Ham to win 1-0.
