Recent form
Cardiff City
Cardiff City's recent form has been rather poor, with the Bluebirds struggling to find consistency in the Championship. The Welsh side have managed just two wins in their last six matches, suffering four defeats in the process. Their latest victory against Blackburn Rovers (2-1) broke a concerning run of four consecutive losses across all competitions, including an FA Cup exit at the hands of Premier League side Aston Villa. Despite their recent struggles, Cardiff have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with four of their last six games seeing over 2.5 goals scored. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having conceded nine goals in six matches and keeping only one clean sheet during this period. With Cardiff currently languishing in 21st position in the league table, they will need to improve their form quickly to avoid being dragged further into a relegation battle.
Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday have endured a mixed run of form recently, with their last six matches yielding two wins and four losses. The Owls are currently experiencing a concerning streak of three consecutive home defeats, conceding two goals in each of those matches. On a more positive note, they secured back-to-back away victories against Plymouth Argyle and Norwich City, scoring three goals in both encounters. The 4-0 loss to Burnley stands out as a particularly heavy defeat, whilst their defensive record has been somewhat leaky, conceding 11 goals in their last six games. Despite their inconsistent form, Sheffield Wednesday have been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Currently sitting 12th in the Championship table, the Owls will be keen to improve their home form and defensive solidity to climb the standings.

Recent home/away form
Cardiff City
Cardiff City's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the Bluebirds experiencing a notable downturn in their last two matches. The Welsh side had been enjoying a strong run of three consecutive home victories, including an impressive 3-0 derby win over Swansea, before their momentum was halted by back-to-back losses against Burnley and Luton Town. Despite their recent struggles, Cardiff have managed to maintain a respectable goal-scoring record, netting in each of their last six home games and averaging 1.5 goals per match. Defensively, they've been relatively solid, conceding just one goal per game on average and keeping two clean sheets during this period. Interestingly, 67% of Cardiff's recent home fixtures have seen both teams score, with the same percentage of matches featuring over 2.5 goals, suggesting that fans at the Cardiff City Stadium have been treated to some entertaining encounters.
Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday have shown impressive away form recently, winning four of their last six matches on the road in the Championship. The Owls are currently on a three-game winning streak away from home, demonstrating their resilience and ability to perform under pressure. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored 10 goals in these six matches, averaging 1.67 goals per game. Defensively, they've been solid, keeping three clean sheets during this period. The standout result was a convincing 3-0 victory against Plymouth Argyle, whilst their heaviest defeat came in a 4-0 loss to Burnley. Interestingly, 67% of these away fixtures have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting that Sheffield Wednesday's away matches tend to be high-scoring affairs. Despite their mixed overall league position, their recent away form indicates that they are a force to be reckoned with on their travels.
