Current streaks

Recent form

Swansea

Swansea City is currently showing promising form, sitting 7th in the league with 3 points from 2 games. The team has demonstrated an impressive offensive output, scoring 11 goals in their last 6 matches across all competitions, averaging 1.83 goals per game. Defensively, they've been solid, conceding only 5 goals (0.83 per game) and keeping 2 clean sheets. Notably, Swansea is on a current two-game winning streak in competitive matches, with convincing 3-0 victories against both Preston in the Championship and Rio Ave in a friendly. The team's games tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Their most recent competitive fixture, a 3-0 win against Preston, showcases their potential for dominant performances.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent form presents a mixed picture with notable highs and lows. The team has struggled in their Championship matches, losing both games and currently sitting at the bottom of the league table with 0 points. Their most recent match against Burnley resulted in a heavy 5-0 defeat, which is particularly concerning for their defensive record. However, Cardiff has shown some promise in other competitions and friendlies, winning three out of their last six games across all fixtures. The team has managed two clean sheets in this period, but their goals conceded per game (1.5) outweighs their goals scored per game (1.17), resulting in a negative goal difference. The majority of their recent matches (67%) have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards lower-scoring games, except for the anomalous high-scoring loss to Burnley.

Recent home/away form

Swansea

Swansea's recent home form has been impressive, with the team currently on a three-game winning streak at their home ground. Their last six home matches have seen them score 11 goals while conceding only 3, demonstrating a strong offensive output and solid defensive performance. Notably, three of these games were high-scoring affairs, with Swansea netting 3 goals in each of their last three home matches against Preston, Gillingham, and Rio Ave. The team has also managed to keep three clean sheets in their last six home games, further highlighting their defensive prowess. Despite a slight hiccup with a loss to Millwall in May, Swansea's overall home form suggests they are a formidable force on their own turf, with a goal difference of +8 and an average of 1.83 goals scored per game in their last six home matches.

Cardiff City

Cardiff City's recent away form presents a mixed picture with some concerning trends. Their last six away games have resulted in 2 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses, indicating inconsistent performance. Notably, their most recent Championship matches have been particularly troubling, with heavy defeats to Burnley (5-0) and Rotherham (5-2), highlighting defensive vulnerabilities. These high-scoring games, along with a 3-1 loss to Millwall, contribute to an alarming average of 2.33 goals conceded per game. While Cardiff showed promise in friendly matches, including a 3-0 win against Hamburger SV, their competitive form has been poor, leaving them without points after two league games. The team's ability to keep clean sheets in two of the six games is a positive, but their negative goal difference of -5 and the fact that 67% of these games saw over 2.5 goals suggest that Cardiff are involved in high-scoring affairs, often to their detriment when playing away from home.
