Prediction 1X2 : Which team to bet on?

Based on the provided statistics, it is difficult to determine a clear favorite as both teams show a similar winning percentage in their respective recent matches (60% for Cardiff and Southampton). However, Cardiff City seems to have a slight edge based on their home performance, with an average of 1.2 goals scored per match compared to Southampton’s 0.4 goal average away. It is also interesting to note that Cardiff has a 43% offensive potential at home compared to Southampton’s 14% away, and a 57% defensive potential compared to Southampton’s 21% away. Therefore, my prediction would be: Cardiff City to win the match.
