On Saturday, Cardiff City will host Middlesbrough in a Championship matchup. The home team is aiming to get their first victory of the new season. Middlesbrough are in eleventh place with only a single win, while the Bluebirds are in last place in the league.
The current Cardiff form does not bode well for their supporters’ chances of winning this match. Despite ending their losing skid with last weekend’s 1-1 draw away to Swansea, the Welsh team has let in eight goals in their three Championship games, the most in the league. Midweek in the Carabao Cup, they were beaten 5-3 at home by Premier League Southampton, a team that scored twice in stoppage time due to their poor defensive play.
Similarly, Middlesbrough let in five goals in their most recent home game. In the Carabao Cup, Stoke City defeated them 5-0 at the Riverside. That came up following last weekend’s Championship matches, in which they lost 1-0 out to Derby County and then tied 2-2 at home against Portsmouth. The squad led by Michael Carrick is more than capable of winning away from home, but they are having trouble maintaining consistency.
