Stats for this game
Matchup Cardiff VS Burnley
Burnley’s league margins lead the story
Burnley’s 2-1 away win on 4 March 2025 followed a 5-0 home result on 17 August 2024 and a 3-0 home victory on 8 May 2023. The clubs also met in the Premier League on 13 April 2019, when Burnley won 2-0 at home. These dated league results give Burnley the more consistent positive direction, with both narrow and emphatic margins. Cardiff’s challenge is to supply another league response without assuming that every meeting must follow the same script.
Cardiff have a clear counterpoint
The 1-1 Championship draw at Cardiff on 1 October 2022 provides a league counterpoint to Burnley’s victories. Cardiff then won 2-1 at Burnley in the League Cup on 23 September 2025. That cup result deserves secondary weight because the competition differs, but it remains a meaningful result between these clubs. A future Championship meeting will test whether Cardiff can reproduce that resistance in league play, or whether Burnley can reinforce the direction set by their dated margins.
