Cardiff City will host Stoke City for a Championship match at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday. With five matches to go, these two sides are embroiled in the relegation scrap, and a win here could turn crucial in the survival race. We have a prediction for this match below.
The hosts are placed 22nd, only separated from the safe zone by goal difference. After a run of four straight losses, Cardiff’s last four matches posted an improvement.
They have three draws and a win in the said four matches. In the latest of them, the Bluebirds came from behind twice to draw Preston 2-2.
Stoke City arrive for this match having bagged 44 points, which is two better than Cardiff’s tally. The Potters are increasingly finding it hard to keep clean sheets.
Last time out it cost them two points, as they conceded in stoppage time to draw 1-1 with Luton Town. Still, the points they’ve gained in the last three matches are more than all they mustered in the earlier band of six matches.
On that backdrop, and facing a struggling team, they’d feel this is a perfect chance to open a gap from the relegation zone. Stoke are, however, winless in the last five away matches, losing four.
