Here at BetVictor News, we’ll be following the latest Cardiff City stats throughout 2026/27 as the Bluebirds settle back into Championship football after only one season away.
Brian Barry-Murphy’s first year in South Wales could hardly have gone much better. Cardiff finished second in League One with 91 points, collecting 27 wins and losing only nine times on their way to automatic promotion. The really eye-catching number was at the other end of the pitch though, with City scoring 90 league goals across 46 matches.
There was plenty happening at Cardiff City Stadium in particular. Barry-Murphy’s side won 17 of their 23 home league games, while only four teams left the Welsh capital with all three points. That sort of home record will be harder to reproduce one division higher, but it gives the Bluebirds a useful platform to work from.
Yousef Salech led Cardiff’s league scoring with 14 goals last season, although the bigger picture was how regularly the goals were shared around the squad. Promotion wasn’t built around one player having to carry the attack every week.
The jump back into the Championship should give those numbers a very different test. Rather than chasing promotion from the front, Cardiff now have to show how much of Barry-Murphy’s attacking approach survives against stronger opposition.
As 2026/27 develops, wins at home, goals scored and the gap to the bottom three should offer a useful measure of how comfortably the Bluebirds are adjusting. You can compare their numbers with clubs across England through our football stats hub, while Championship betting covers the division throughout the season.
