Cardiff MU form and stats
Cardiff MU have played three Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Cardiff has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager C. Edwards and the players. The Cardiff manager C. Edwards might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
L. Warman was the last player to score a league goal for Cardiff MU and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Cardiff haven't scored in 308 minutes.
No payout for Cardiff in their previous match, an away game at Barry Town United that ended in defeat 0-1. Preceding that match was the home game against Caernarfon Town that was lost 0-3.
Cardiff MU have scored 0 goals here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. Cardiff have conceded 4 in these home matches.
