Cardiff City have made a solid start to their League One campaign, securing four points from their opening two matches. They began with a 2–1 victory over Peterborough United at Cardiff City Stadium on August 2, 2025. Rubin Colwill scored a superb free-kick to cancel out Peterborough’s opener, and teenager Ronan Kpakio grabbed the winner in that match.
Their second outing ended goalless at Port Vale on August 7, 2025, leaving them with a modest but stable start to the campaign. Despite controlling much of the contest, chances were at a premium, and the game drifted towards a goalless conclusion.
