Cardiff City vs Swansea

Current streaks

Recent form

Cardiff City

Cardiff City have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, currently sitting 21st in the Championship with 24 points from 26 games. The Bluebirds are on a five-game unbeaten run across all competitions, including a notable FA Cup victory against Sheffield United. Their last six matches have seen them secure two wins, three draws, and suffer one defeat, with their most recent loss coming in a high-scoring 3-2 encounter against Oxford United. Cardiff have been consistent in finding the back of the net, scoring in all of their last six games, but have also conceded in five of those matches. The team's resilience is evident in their ability to avoid defeat, with 83% of their recent games seeing both teams score. However, their tendency towards low-scoring affairs is reflected in the fact that 67% of these matches have featured under 2.5 goals.

Swansea

Swansea's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Swans struggling to find consistency in their performances. The Welsh side have managed just two wins in their last six matches, suffering three defeats and securing one draw. Their defensive record has been particularly concerning, conceding 11 goals in these six games, including a heavy 4-0 defeat to Portsmouth and a 3-0 loss to Southampton in the FA Cup. On a positive note, Swansea have shown an ability to score goals, netting seven times in this period, including a convincing 3-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers. The team's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite their mixed form, Swansea find themselves in 12th position in the Championship, suggesting they have the potential to push for a higher finish if they can improve their defensive solidity and maintain their goal-scoring threat.

Recent home/away form

Cardiff City

Cardiff City have been enduring a torrid run of form at home, failing to secure a victory in their last six matches at the Cardiff City Stadium. The Bluebirds are currently on a four-match losing streak at home, which was only recently halted by two consecutive draws. During this six-game spell, Cardiff have struggled significantly in attack, scoring a mere three goals, averaging just 0.5 goals per game. Their defensive woes are equally concerning, conceding 11 goals at an average of 1.83 per match. Notably, Cardiff have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these home fixtures, with their heaviest defeat coming in a 3-1 loss to Blackburn Rovers. The majority of these matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of the games featuring under 2.5 goals, highlighting Cardiff's difficulties at both ends of the pitch.

Swansea

Swansea's away form has taken a concerning turn, with the Welsh side currently on a three-match losing streak on their travels. Their recent away performances have been particularly poor, conceding a worrying 9 goals in their last three outings without reply. The 4-0 drubbing at Portsmouth and 3-0 defeat to Southampton in the FA Cup stand out as particularly heavy losses. Despite this downturn, Swansea had shown promise earlier in their away campaign, securing back-to-back victories against Plymouth Argyle and Derby County. The Swans' defensive frailties are evident, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six away matches and conceding an average of two goals per game. Their matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent away games featuring over 2.5 goals. While Swansea have struggled to find the net in their last three away fixtures, they had previously demonstrated an ability to score on the road, netting in four consecutive away matches prior to their current slump.
