Cardiff City looks extremely weak this season and is focused on survival in the Championship. In 23 matches, the "Bluebirds" have won only 5 games and lost 12. With 21 points, they are in 22nd place, one point behind Hull, which is in the safe zone.
In the last round, Cardiff City played away against Watford and secured a 2-1 victory, breaking a nine-match winless streak in the current Championship season. In five home games, Cardiff City has only one win and three losses.
