Current streaks

Recent form

Hull City

Hull City's recent form has been inconsistent, with their latest victory against Stoke City providing a much-needed boost after a challenging run. The team had been struggling, going winless in five consecutive matches before their 3-1 away win at Stoke. Defensively, Hull City has faced difficulties, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game and managing only one clean sheet in their last six matches. Their goal-scoring has also been a concern, with an average of less than a goal per game. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards lower-scoring encounters. Despite their 16th position in the league, the convincing win against Stoke could potentially signal a turning point in Hull City's season.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent form has been concerning, with the team currently sitting in 24th position in the Championship and experiencing a difficult run of results. The Bluebirds are winless in their last six games, suffering five losses and managing only one draw. Their goal-scoring struggles are evident, having netted just four times in these matches, while their defense has been porous, conceding a worrying 16 goals. Two particularly high-scoring games stand out: a 5-0 thrashing by Burnley in the league and a 5-3 defeat to Southampton in the League Cup. The team is currently on a four-game losing streak in all competitions, highlighting the urgent need for improvement. With an average of 3.33 total goals per game across these six matches, Cardiff's fixtures have been eventful, albeit not in their favor.

Recent home/away form

Hull City

Hull City's recent home form has been less than stellar, with the team failing to secure a win in their last six matches at their home ground. They've experienced three draws and three losses, including a League Cup defeat to Sheffield Wednesday. The team has struggled offensively, scoring only four goals in these six games, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per game. Defensively, they've conceded nine goals, keeping just one clean sheet. Interestingly, 67% of these home games have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards low-scoring affairs. The most exciting match in this run was likely the 2-2 draw against Fiorentina in a friendly, which stands out as the highest-scoring game among these recent home fixtures.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent away form presents a mixed picture with some concerning trends. In their last six away matches, they've managed 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, showing inconsistency. However, it's worth noting that their two victories came in friendly matches, while their competitive Championship games have been less successful. The most alarming result was a heavy 5-0 defeat to Burnley, which significantly contributed to their negative goal difference. Their defensive record is a concern, conceding 8 goals in 6 games, with only 2 clean sheets. On the positive side, Cardiff has shown they can score goals, netting 7 times across these 6 matches. The team's struggle is reflected in their league position, currently sitting 24th with just 1 point from 6 games, indicating that their away form is part of a broader challenge they're facing this season.
