Cardiff City played a 2-2 draw in their last game against Preston to extend their unbeaten run to four straight games. Prior to this unbeaten run, they lost four consecutive games. At home, they are unbeaten in seven of their last nine games. They sit 22nd on the table with 42 points in 41 games, scoring 45 goals and conceding 65. They are in the relegation pool and need extra power to scale through. They still have Sheffield United (who are desperately fighting for promotion), Oxford United, West Brom and Norwich in their fixtures before the end of the season. So, they need extra motivation to get the points they need in these games for survival. Meanwhile, Anwar El-Ghazi (back), Perry Ng (physical discomfort), Joe Ralls (calf), Aaron Ramsey (hamstring), and Jak Alnwick (hamstring) will all miss this game due to injuries.
Stoke City
Stoke City were held to a one-all draw in their last game against Luton Town to extend their unbeaten run to three games. However, they are winless in their last five games on the road, where they lost four. The Potters sit 20th on the table with 44 points in 41 games, scoring 42 goals and conceding 54. They are in the relegation battle, and they still have Leeds United and Sheffield United in their remaining fixture, adding more concerns to their survival. Meanwhile, Enda Stevens (knock), Josh Wilson-Esbrand (leg) and Souleymane Sidibe (muscle) are ruled out of this game due to injuries.

Expert Betting Tips
Both sides are currently in the relegation battle, and nothing seems to be different in their forms. Moreover, seven of the last nine games between both sides ended in a draw. So, I won’t be surprised if this game ends in a draw, but I have the feeling that both sides will come out, which will lead to goals from both sides of the net.
Our prediction for this match is for both teams to score, with odds of 1.89 at Betway.
Our second prediction for this match is to see less than three goals for odds of 1.69 at 1xbet.
Our third prediction is a draw at odds of 3.30 at Bet365.
