Cardiff City 1-3 Blackburn Rovers

Current streaks

Recent form

Cardiff City

Cardiff City have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with three wins, two draws, and one loss in their last six matches. Despite their current 21st position in the league table, the Bluebirds have demonstrated resilience, particularly in defence, conceding only three goals in their last six games and keeping three clean sheets. A standout performance came in their 5-0 thrashing of Plymouth Argyle, showcasing their attacking potential. However, Cardiff's goal-scoring has been inconsistent, with 10 goals in six matches, largely boosted by the Plymouth result. The team's ability to keep matches low-scoring is evident, with 67% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals. While Cardiff have avoided long losing streaks, they'll be keen to build on their positive goal difference and climb the Championship table.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers are experiencing a concerning dip in form, having lost their last three matches and four of their last six. Their offensive output has been particularly worrying, with the team failing to score in three consecutive games and managing only two goals in their last six fixtures. Defensively, they've kept two clean sheets during this period, but have conceded seven goals overall. The team's recent performances have been characterised by low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their last six matches seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. This trend is further emphasised by the fact that both teams have scored in only 17% of these games. Despite their current 10th position in the Championship, Rovers' recent form suggests they may struggle to maintain their place in the top half of the table if they cannot improve their goalscoring record.

Recent home/away form

Cardiff City

Cardiff City have shown impressive form at home recently, with a notable four-match winning streak in their last four home games. This run has seen them score 10 goals whilst conceding only one, demonstrating a significant improvement in both attack and defence. The Bluebirds have been particularly ruthless in their most recent home fixture, thrashing Plymouth Argyle 5-0 in a high-scoring encounter. Their defensive solidity is evident from the three clean sheets kept during this winning run. Despite their current 21st position in the league, Cardiff's recent home performances suggest a team on the rise, with their goal-scoring average of 1.67 per game at home outperforming their overall season statistics. The team's ability to keep matches low-scoring is also evident, with 67% of their recent home games featuring under 2.5 goals.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers' recent away form has been concerning, with the team failing to secure a victory in their last six matches on the road. The Rovers are currently experiencing a worrying run of three consecutive away defeats, following a spell of three draws. Their goal-scoring prowess has been particularly lacking, managing to find the net only four times in these six games, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per match. Defensively, they've struggled as well, conceding nine goals and keeping just one clean sheet. The 3-0 loss to Coventry City stands out as their heaviest defeat during this period. Despite their mid-table position in the league, Blackburn's away performances suggest they need to address their road woes to improve their overall standing.
