Current streaks

Recent form

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent form has been inconsistent, with their latest victory against Watford ending a three-match winless streak. The Bluebirds have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 matches, which is a concerning trend. Their goal-scoring has been relatively consistent, finding the net in five of their last six games, but they've been outscored by their opponents overall with a -4 goal difference. Cardiff's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Despite their 23rd position in the league, Cardiff have shown resilience in their ability to score, averaging 1.33 goals per game, but their defensive frailties, conceding 2 goals per game, have been their undoing. The 3-2 loss to Oxford United stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter, highlighting both Cardiff's attacking potential and defensive vulnerabilities.

Coventry City

Coventry City have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable inconsistency in their results. The Sky Blues have alternated between wins and losses in their last five matches before securing a goalless draw against Millwall in their most recent outing. Despite their mid-table position, Coventry have demonstrated their attacking prowess with a resounding 4-0 victory over Plymouth Argyle, which stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period. Defensively, the team have been solid, keeping three clean sheets in their last six matches. However, their 4-1 defeat to Portsmouth highlights some vulnerability at the back. Interestingly, Coventry's goal difference remains positive despite their 15th place standing, suggesting they are capable of competitive performances against stronger opposition. The team's ability to score and concede in equal measure is reflected in their even split of matches going over and under 2.5 goals, indicating an unpredictable nature to their fixtures.

Recent home/away form

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent home form has been concerning, with the Bluebirds currently on a worrying four-match losing streak at the Cardiff City Stadium. This run has seen them fail to score in their last three home fixtures, conceding two goals in each of these matches. Prior to this poor spell, Cardiff had shown promise with back-to-back home victories against Norwich and Portsmouth. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having kept only one clean sheet in their last six home games and conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game. With just 5 goals scored across these 6 matches, Cardiff's attacking prowess at home has also been lacklustre, contributing to their current 23rd position in the Championship table.

Coventry City

Coventry City's recent away form has been inconsistent, with two wins, one draw, and three losses in their last six matches on the road. The Sky Blues have struggled to find consistency, failing to secure back-to-back victories during this period. Their most impressive away performance came in a 3-0 victory against Middlesbrough, showcasing their potential for dominant displays. However, they've also suffered some heavy defeats, most notably a 4-1 loss to Portsmouth in their most recent away fixture. Defensively, Coventry have been vulnerable, conceding 10 goals in these six games, with only two clean sheets. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, netting seven times, but they've failed to score in half of these matches. The team's overall goal difference of -3 in these away games reflects their challenging form on the road, which has contributed to their current 15th position in the Championship table.
