Cardiff City, Recent FormCardiff City won't feel too deflated by the 3-2 away defeat to Ipswich Town, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. In that game they had 44% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Ipswich Town who had 19 attempts and 7 on target.
Supremo Erol Bulut will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 13 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 8 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 16 games overall.
Results have been poor for Cardiff recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
Swansea City, Recent FormSwansea City will not be too troubled by their 2-1 home defeat against Bristol City, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. They came away from that fixture with a 61% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Bristol City, who managed 16 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Michael Duff will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 11 games in a row.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Swansea City, Liam Cullen will be looking to add more goals against Cardiff City in this match.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 2-3 win for Swansea City.
