Cardiff vs Stoke prediction

Under the management of Omer Riza, Cardiff City come into this one on the back of a 2-2 draw with Preston North End at Deepdale in midweek in a game in which they scored a 94th minute equaliser via Yakou Meite. The Bluebirds have now slightly turned their form around with three successive draws following a 2-1 defeat of Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park last month.

They now face a Stoke City side that, with former Coventry City boss Mark Robins at the helm, have turned themselves into being quite steady of late but the Potters are hovering just above the danger zone. They most recently shared a 1-1 draw with Luton Town at the Bet365 Stadium in midweek with Millenic Alli scoring a late equaliser for the Hatters.

Both of these sides have shown improvement and both will see it as a massive opportunity to get a massive victory so both teams scoring may well be a good bet for this one in Wales.
