Cardiff MU vs Haverfordwest County: match statistics
Cardiff MU occupies a higher position in the table (7th place), but their home form is concerning—in their last 5 home matches they have failed to record a victory (0-3-2), and their goal difference at their own stadium stands at -6. Haverfordwest County presents significantly better overall form with 1.6 points per game in the last 5 matches, compared to 0.6 for the hosts. The visitors boast a better clean sheet rate away (27% vs 18% for the hosts), although they concede an average of 2 goals per away match. xG statistics show a slight advantage for the hosts (1.48 vs 1.28), but their poor home form and high percentage of losses (36%) and draws (36%) suggest an even contest. Taking all factors into account, I expect a tight match with a slight advantage for the hosts, yet a draw appears to be the most probable result.
