THE PREDICTION
Two sides bang in form lock horns at the Bet365 Stadium as Stoke host Cardiff. The hosts have won their last two Championship games, whilst Neil Harris’ men have gone one better, winning their last three league games. Neither side have conceded a goal in any of those wins, which could lead to a tense encounter here, with both teams prioritising a clean sheet over taking any offensive risks that could lead to them getting caught at the opposite end of the field. The result itself is difficult to call with little seemingly separating the two, however expect under 2.5 goals scored in this one despite the amount of proven attacking quality set to be on show.
