Cardiff City 0-2 Leeds United

Current streaks

Recent form

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent form has been concerning, with the team currently sitting at the bottom of the Championship table. They are on a three-game losing streak in the league, which is part of a larger run of four losses in their last five matches across all competitions. The team's defensive struggles are evident, having conceded 14 goals in their last six games, including a heavy 5-0 defeat to Burnley. Despite this, there have been some high-scoring encounters, notably the 5-3 loss to Southampton in the League Cup. Cardiff's only win in this period came in the League Cup against Bristol Rovers, where they also kept their sole clean sheet. The team's goal-scoring has been inconsistent, with six goals in six games, but they've failed to score in their last two league matches, highlighting their offensive challenges.

Leeds United

Leeds United's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six games showing a mixed bag of results. The team has struggled to find consistency, alternating between wins, draws, and losses. Despite their 9th position in the league, they've managed to accumulate 8 points from 5 games. Their goal-scoring and defensive records are perfectly balanced, with 7 goals scored and 7 conceded, averaging 1.17 per game in both categories. Notably, Leeds have kept three clean sheets in their last six matches, which is a positive defensive sign. The standout game in this period was their 3-3 draw with Portsmouth, a high-scoring affair that contrasts with their generally low-scoring matches, as 67% of their games have seen under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams have scored in only 17% of Leeds' recent matches, indicating a tendency for one-sided scorelines.

Recent home/away form

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent home form has been inconsistent, with a noticeable struggle in their last three competitive matches at Cardiff City Stadium. They've suffered three consecutive losses in their most recent home games, conceding 9 goals while only scoring 3. The standout match was a high-scoring League Cup encounter against Southampton, which ended in a 3-5 defeat. Despite this poor run, they did manage a 2-0 victory over Bristol Rovers in an earlier League Cup fixture. Their defensive record at home is concerning, with only one clean sheet in their last six games. The team's overall goal difference of -3 and their position at the bottom of the league table (24th) with just 1 point from 5 games further highlight their current struggles at home.

Leeds United

Leeds United's recent away form shows a mixed but generally positive trend. In their last six away games, they've managed three wins, two draws, and only one loss, demonstrating resilience on the road. The team has been particularly strong defensively, keeping four clean sheets in these matches. Their most recent away game resulted in a solid 2-0 victory against Sheffield Wednesday. There's a notable high-scoring game in their 4-3 win against Middlesbrough, which contributes significantly to their average of 1.5 goals scored per game. However, their heaviest defeat came in a 4-0 loss to Queens Park Rangers, showing some inconsistency. Interestingly, both teams scored in only 17% of these games, suggesting Leeds either dominates or struggles to find the net away from home. The even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals indicates unpredictable scoring patterns in their away fixtures.
