Cardiff City 1-0 Sheffield Wednesday
Cardiff City 1-0 Swansea Town
2009/10:
Cardiff City 4-0 Scunthorpe United
Cardiff City 3-0 Bristol City
2017/18:
Cardiff City 3-0 Aston Villa
Cardiff City 2-0 Sheffield United
2022/23:
Cardiff City 1-0 Norwich City
Cardiff City 1-0 Birmingham City
We've never won our opening 3 home league fixtures without conceding a goal. We have the chance to do so against Preston in 2 weeks time.
We have won our first 3 home league games on 10 occasions: 1923/24, 1928/29, 1932/33, 1934/35, 1936/37, 1937/38, 1946/47, 1959/60, 2012/13 and 2017/18. Only in 1934/35 and 1937/38 did we go on to win our first 4 home league games. We've never won our opening 5. We've twice gone an entire season at home unbeaten and our longest run of league games without defeat stands at 27.
