After the Premier League last day craziness ended in euphoria for Manchester United (Get In!), Chelsea, and Aston Villa fans. The EFL Championship took center stage with its two-legged playoffs.
Sunday, Swansea City overcame a missed penalty to take a 1-0 lead over Brentford into Wednesday’s second leg.
Monday, Cardiff City will try to do the same, or maybe even better its Welsh counterpart’s result, as the Bluebirds host Fulham.
Fulham beat Cardiff 2-0 back on July 10, and is 2-1-1 since the beginning of last season against the Bluebirds. The last seven times the teams have played, both teams have scored five times.
Usually, these are cagey affairs, but I think that there are going to be some goals in this one.
Are we on track for an all-Wales Playoff Final next week, or will Kyle Franko’s charges find a way back to Wembley?
