Wrexham vs Cardiff City Prediction and Betting Tips | October 28th 2025

Wrexham will host Cardiff City at the Racecourse Ground on Tuesday in the fourth round of the 2025-26 EFL Cup campaign. The home side have had mixed results in the Championship of late and will hope they can find better luck when they return to cup action on Tuesday.

After seeing off fellow Championship sides Hull and Preston North End in the first two rounds of the domestic cup, the Red Dragons were drawn against Reading in the third round. They picked up a well-deserved 2-0 victory over the Royals, with Nathan Broadhead and Sam Smith getting on the scoresheet in the second half.

Cardiff City, meanwhile, beat Swindon Town and Cheltenham Town in the first and second rounds of the cu,p respectively. They then traded tackles with Burnley in the third round, beating the Premier League side 2-1 on the road via first-half efforts from Joel Colwill and Callum Robinson.

The visitors suffered a 1-0 defeat to Bolton Wanderers in their league game on Saturday, but will put all that behind them as they look to continue their remarkable run in the Carabao Cup this week.
