Although Cardiff’s away performances have been poor so far this season, they do appear capable of creating some trouble for West Ham when they play at the Cardiff City Stadium. In six Championship matches at the Cardiff City Stadium, Cardiff have scored 13 goals.

In addition to finding the net frequently recently, Cardiff have had five goals against Watford and two goals against Middlesbrough in those games.

West Ham arrives with an impressive offense having scored 33 goals in 13 league matches. Jarrod Bowen continues to be one of the most consistent threats on offense for West Ham. According to Opta’s player data, he ranks as one of the top contributing players for expected goals for West Ham. Cardiff’s defensive issues will add to their worries. As mentioned earlier, Gabriel Osho is suspended and several others (Dylan Lawlor, Calum Chambers and Krystian Bielik) are either injured/doubtful.

Defensively speaking, West Ham also have some issues. The absence of Konstantinos Mavropanos eliminates them from consideration for the lineup and Kyle Walker-Peters is questionable. Their recent losses have revealed vulnerabilities in the backline.

Therefore, given the potential for Cardiff to cause problems at home and West Ham’s prolific offense, both teams have plenty of chances to produce multiple goals.
