Birmingham vs Cardiff: the head-to-head
Since 2020 the two sides have met eight times, a brief but telling chapter in their Championship rivalry. Cardiff’s five victories outstrip Birmingham’s single win and the two draws that have punctuated the tie, leaving Birmingham with a stark deficit of eight goals to Cardiff’s fourteen. The average of 2.5 goals per game underscores the attacking nature of the encounters, yet only 62% of them feature two or more goals, and just 38% reach three or more, while both teams find the net in only 38% of matches. The most recent clash on 10 April 2024 ended 0-1 in Cardiff’s favour, a result that echoes the home-side struggles of Birmingham, who have lost three of their four home games and managed a single draw, versus a solitary away win in their four away fixtures. Cardiff’s 14 goals against Birmingham’s six highlight the dominance that Cardiff exerts, a pattern that will likely persist when the clubs meet again on 24 October 2026.
