Cardiff City duel Swansea City for prestige and triumph.
- Cardiff City have the most conceded goals in the second half (8) in Championship
- Swansea City have the most dropped points from leading position (6) in Championship
This looks to be an interesting match with lots of fun and energy as both squads are well renewed since they last saw competitive action. Let's go!
Cardiff City form and stats
Only two Championship home games for Cardiff City so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat. When Cardiff City hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Cardiff City, Middlesbrough, Rotherham United, Queens Park Rangers, Sheffield Wednesday, Watford and Huddersfield Town), they have won 1 of 2 matches!
No payout for Cardiff City in their previous match, an away game at Ipswich Town that ended in defeat 2-3. Did Cardiff City get overconfident in their match against Ipswich Town? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-3 defeat. Midfielder Ramsey was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.94 (out of ten) in that game. Ramsey scored one goal and hit four key passes.
Before that one, a strong away win at Birmingham City. A Carabao Cup game. The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Cardiff have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 12 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 2 and lost 5.
Both teams score at least one goal! That has happened in 5 league games in a row for this club. Will it happen again?
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Coventry City are coming to town in three days.
Early season league goal statistics from Cardiff City's 2 home games: {3 goals}, 3 conceded.
Swansea City form and stats
It's not happening yet for Swansea City on their Championship travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different?
Swansea City failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Bristol City (placed 8th) that ended with defeat 1-2. Midfielder Grimes was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.13. Grimes hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 64 successful passes (of 71 total).
The match before that was the Carabao Cup-battle against AFC Bournemouth, a home defeat (2-3). As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 14 similar matches played by Swansea City in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Swansea City, 7 draws and 3 defeats.
Both teams to score at least one goal each? This side's latest statistics suggest that, having finished 5 league matches in a row with one or more goals from each side.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Championship trip to Queens Park Rangers.
{3 goals} so far away for Swansea City, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 5. All from 2 league matches away.
