West Brom 0-0 Cardiff City

Current streaks

Recent form

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion's recent form has been rather mixed, with the Baggies currently experiencing a five-game winless streak in the Championship. Despite this, they have managed to maintain a respectable 5th position in the league table with 18 points from 10 games. The team's defensive prowess is evident, having kept three clean sheets in their last six matches and conceding an average of just 0.83 goals per game. However, their attacking output has been lacklustre, scoring only four goals in six games, with a low average of 0.67 goals per match. Notably, 83% of their recent fixtures have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards low-scoring encounters. The most exciting match in this run was their 3-2 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, which stands out as an anomaly in an otherwise tight defensive period for West Brom.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City have shown a remarkable turnaround in form, winning their last three home matches after a difficult spell. The Bluebirds have demonstrated impressive resilience, bouncing back from consecutive losses to secure three wins in their last four games. Their most recent outing was particularly noteworthy, as they thrashed Plymouth Argyle 5-0, showcasing their attacking prowess. Despite their current 19th position in the league, Cardiff's recent form suggests they are on an upward trajectory. The team have kept three clean sheets in their last six matches, highlighting improvements in their defensive organisation. However, their away form remains a concern, with a heavy 4-1 defeat at Hull City standing out as a low point in their recent run. Cardiff's ability to score goals has improved significantly, netting 10 times in their last six games, well above their season average of 1.67 goals per game.

Recent home/away form

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion's recent home form has been characterised by tight, low-scoring affairs, with all six matches seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. The Baggies have been particularly stingy in defence, keeping four clean sheets in their last six home games. However, their attacking prowess has been lacking, scoring only twice in this period. Despite their defensive solidity, West Brom have struggled to convert draws into wins, with their last two home matches ending in goalless stalemates. Interestingly, none of their recent home games have seen both teams score, highlighting the team's defensive focus. While there are no notable winning or losing streaks, West Brom's home form has been inconsistent, alternating between wins, draws, and losses in their last five competitive matches at The Hawthorns.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent away form has been concerning, with the Bluebirds struggling to find consistent success on the road. In their last six away matches, Cardiff have managed just one win, which came in a friendly against Bristol Rovers. The team have endured a difficult run, failing to secure victory in their last five competitive away fixtures in the Championship. This streak includes three losses and two draws, with particularly heavy defeats against Hull City (4-1) and Burnley (5-0). The Burnley match stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, contributing significantly to Cardiff's poor goal difference of -7 in their last six away games. Defensively, Cardiff have been vulnerable, conceding an average of 2 goals per game, while their attacking output has been limited to just 0.83 goals per game. Despite these challenges, Cardiff have shown some resilience, managing to secure draws against local rivals Swansea and, most recently, Bristol City.
