Cardiff City vs Luton Town

Current streaks

Recent form

Cardiff City

Cardiff City are currently experiencing a concerning dip in form, having lost their last three matches across all competitions. The Bluebirds find themselves in a precarious 21st position in the Championship table, dangerously close to the relegation zone. Their recent run of results has been particularly disappointing, with just one win in their last six outings. Cardiff's goal-scoring prowess has been lacklustre, averaging less than a goal per game in this period, while their defence has been leaking goals at a rate of 1.33 per match. Despite the struggles, there have been some positive signs, with two draws and a win preceding their current losing streak. The team has managed to keep matches relatively low-scoring, with 67% of their recent games seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. However, Cardiff City will need to address their offensive and defensive issues quickly if they hope to climb out of their perilous league position and avoid the threat of relegation.

Luton Town

Luton Town's recent form has been particularly poor, with the Hatters finding themselves in 22nd position in the Championship table. The team have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just two goals in their last six matches, with a concerning average of 0.33 goals per game. Defensively, they've also been vulnerable, conceding 10 goals during this period. Their most recent outing saw them suffer a heavy 4-0 defeat to Burnley, which marks their third loss in four games. Luton's only victory in this stretch came in a narrow 1-0 win against Portsmouth, which also represents their sole clean sheet. The team's difficulty in scoring is further highlighted by the fact that 83% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a lack of attacking potency. With just one win in six games, Luton Town are in desperate need of a turnaround to improve their league position and avoid the threat of relegation.

Recent home/away form

Cardiff City

Cardiff City have shown mixed form at home in their recent fixtures, with three wins, two draws, and one loss in their last six matches at the Cardiff City Stadium. Despite their 21st position in the league, the Bluebirds have been relatively solid defensively at home, conceding just 0.83 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets. Their most impressive home performance came in a convincing 3-0 victory over local rivals Swansea, which was also their highest-scoring game in this period. Cardiff have managed to score in each of their last six home matches, averaging 1.5 goals per game, and have been involved in an even split of high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of games going over 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these matches, suggesting that while Cardiff are finding the net consistently, they are also vulnerable at the back.

Luton Town

Luton Town's recent away form has been dismal, with the Hatters currently on a five-game losing streak on the road. Their last six away matches have yielded just one point from a possible 18, with a solitary draw against Sheffield Wednesday breaking up an otherwise perfect run of defeats. Luton have been particularly goal-shy away from home, failing to score in four of their last six away games and managing just three goals in total during this period. Defensively, they've been equally troubled, conceding 14 goals at an alarming rate of 2.33 per game. The 4-0 thrashing at Burnley stands out as a particularly heavy defeat, while the 3-2 loss to Oxford United was the only high-scoring affair in this run. With no clean sheets and only a third of their away games seeing both teams score, Luton Town's away performances have been a significant factor in their precarious 22nd position in the Championship table.
