Norwich vs Cardiff City

Current streaks

Recent form

Norwich

Norwich City are currently experiencing a challenging period in the Championship, sitting 14th in the table with 54 points from 45 games. The Canaries are in the midst of a six-match winless streak, having failed to secure a victory in their last half-dozen outings. Their recent form has been particularly poor, with four losses and two draws in their previous six matches. Norwich's defence has been a significant concern, conceding an average of two goals per game over this stretch, while their attack has struggled to keep pace, netting just once per match on average. A notable high-scoring affair occurred in their 5-3 home defeat to Portsmouth, contributing to the fact that 67% of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals. Despite their defensive woes, Norwich have managed two clean sheets in this period, both coming in goalless draws. The team's inability to find the back of the net consistently, coupled with their leaky defence, has resulted in a worrying goal difference of -6 over the last six games.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City are currently experiencing a difficult run of form, sitting in 24th position in the Championship with just 44 points from 45 games. The Bluebirds have failed to secure a victory in their last seven matches, with their most recent six games yielding four draws and two losses. Their goal-scoring prowess has been particularly concerning, netting only three times in their last six outings, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. Defensively, Cardiff have been somewhat more stable, conceding six goals in the same period and keeping two clean sheets. The majority of their recent matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their last six games seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. Their highest-scoring match in this run was a 2-2 draw against Preston, which stands out as an anomaly in an otherwise goal-shy period for the Welsh side.

Recent home/away form

Norwich

Norwich City's recent home form has been rather inconsistent, with the Canaries struggling to string together consecutive wins at Carrow Road. Their last six home matches have yielded two wins, two draws, and two losses, mirroring their overall mid-table position in the Championship. Notably, Norwich's defence has been particularly leaky, conceding 11 goals in these six games, including a high-scoring 3-5 defeat to Portsmouth in their most recent home fixture. Despite this, the team have managed to entertain their supporters, with matches averaging an impressive 3.67 goals per game. Norwich have shown an ability to find the back of the net themselves, scoring 11 goals in this period, but their inability to keep clean sheets (only two in six games) has hampered their progress up the table.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent away form has been inconsistent, with the Bluebirds struggling to find consistent success on the road. In their last six away matches, Cardiff have managed only one victory, a 2-1 win against Blackburn Rovers, whilst suffering three defeats and securing two draws. The Welsh side have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of these six matches, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game. Their goal-scoring record has been particularly poor, netting just five times in these six away fixtures, averaging less than a goal per game. Notably, Cardiff are currently experiencing a mini-slump, having failed to win any of their last three away matches, which includes back-to-back goalless performances against Queens Park Rangers and Sheffield United. The team's overall away form has contributed to their precarious league position, with Cardiff currently sitting at the bottom of the Championship table with just 44 points from 45 games.
