Cardiff City vs Stoke City Prediction
Cardiff snapped a three-game losing streak with their draw with Blackburn Rovers and look to build on that. However, the Bluebirds have won points in consecutive games just once since November.
Furthermore, their home form has been dire, having not won a game in front of their fans since mid-December, losing four and drawing twice. Meanwhile, things are even more grim at the Bet365 Stadium, with Stoke holding just a three-point advantage over the bottom-three.
Steven Schumacher's side were booed off the pitch by their fans following their defeat at the weekend. The Staffordshire outfit have not won an away game with Cardiff since August 2007, losing thrice.
Both sides' poor form means confidence could be low, and their attacking struggles could mean that chances are at a premium.
