Cardiff City are on the verge of a high-profile clash in the Championship as they host Plymouth. Cardiff City currently sit 10th in the Championship with 10 wins, 3 draws and 10 defeats, with six wins, one draw and four defeats at home, and the home defence is quite good, conceding an average of just one goal per game.
In the previous round, they beat Sheffield Wednesday away to successfully pull off a first-class battle that ended a run of two consecutive defeats. However, just one win in their last four home games is a record of 1 win and 3 defeats, with two of those clean sheets and home momentum slipping.
Meanwhile, as a new Championship team, Plymouth are currently in 17th place with a record of 7 wins, 6 draws and 10 defeats. On the downside, they rely more on home games to earn points, with only four draws and seven defeats in 11 away games, with a rather poor away record. Although the data shows that Cardiff City's performance has improved, there is still a clear gap between the two sides.
Considering Plymouth's recent good form but lack of support, as well as the generally low quality of fixtures of late, Cardiff City can be expected to emerge victorious in this one.
