Cardiff City 5-0 Plymouth Argyle

Current streaks

Recent form

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent form has been concerning, with the team currently sitting in 24th position in the Championship. The Bluebirds have experienced a significant slump, enduring a four-game losing streak before showing signs of improvement in their last two matches. Their goal-scoring output has been particularly worrying, averaging just 0.5 goals per game in their last six matches, while conceding 1.67 goals per game. The 4-1 defeat against Hull City stands out as a particularly high-scoring game and their heaviest loss in this period. Despite these struggles, Cardiff managed to secure their first clean sheet and win in six games against Millwall, followed by a draw with Bristol City, potentially signaling a turning point in their form. The team's defensive record has been somewhat better than their attacking prowess, with 83% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals.

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle's recent form shows a pattern of alternating wins and losses, with no consecutive victories or defeats in their last six games. The team has demonstrated resilience, bouncing back from each loss with a win in their subsequent match. Their goal-scoring ability is evident, with an average of 1.33 goals per game, including two high-scoring encounters where they netted three goals each against Luton Town and Sunderland. Defensively, they've conceded an average of 1.17 goals per game, but have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six matches. The team's games have been evenly split between high-scoring affairs (over 2.5 goals) and tighter contests (under 2.5 goals), suggesting an unpredictable nature to their matches. Despite their mixed form, Plymouth Argyle has managed to maintain a mid-table position (14th) in the Championship, accumulating 11 points from 9 games.

Recent home/away form

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent home form has been inconsistent, with a mix of wins and losses. The team has experienced a concerning run of three consecutive home defeats in the Championship, before bouncing back with a win against Millwall in their most recent home game. A particularly high-scoring match stood out in the League Cup, where Cardiff lost 3-5 to Southampton, contributing significantly to their goals conceded tally. Despite their struggles, Cardiff has managed two clean sheets in their last six home games, both resulting in victories. The team's goal-scoring has been limited, with only 6 goals in 6 games, while they've conceded nearly twice as many (11). Interestingly, 83% of their recent home games have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting typically low-scoring affairs at Cardiff City Stadium.

Plymouth Argyle

Plymouth Argyle's recent away form has been concerning, with a current run of three consecutive losses in competitive matches. The team has struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only 2 goals in their last 6 away games, resulting in a low average of 0.33 goals per game. Defensively, they've conceded 9 goals in this period, with a particularly heavy 4-0 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday standing out as their most significant loss. Their only win in this stretch came in a friendly against Milton Keynes Dons, while their sole point in competitive away matches was earned in a 1-1 draw with Queens Park Rangers. The team's difficulty in scoring is evident, with 83% of their recent away games seeing under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend of low-scoring matches when Plymouth Argyle plays on the road.
