Predicted score: 20-23

However, the Cardinals' struggles are reflected in their recent form, with only one win in their past five games and a significantly high goals conceded rate. The Cowboys, meanwhile, have shown more resilience, winning 3 of their last 5, making them marginal favorites for this upcoming fixture.
