Cardiff City's recent form has been impressive, with the team currently on a three-game winning streak in the Championship. Despite suffering two consecutive defeats against West Brom and Norwich, with the latter being a particularly high-scoring game (4-1), Cardiff has bounced back strongly. They have secured three 1-0 victories in their last three matches against Stoke City, Bristol City, and Huddersfield, demonstrating their defensive resilience. Currently sitting in 10th position in the league with 50 points from 36 games, Cardiff's recent performances suggest they are pushing for a strong finish to the season.

Ipswich Town

The Tractor Boys are on a remarkable six-game winning streak, scoring an astonishing 18 goals in the process, at an average of 3 goals per game.
