Stoke City have seen a revival to their season lately, and they travel to Cardiff City hoping to win their next Championship outing. This match finds Stoke 13th in the standings, while Cardiff are stuck in the relegation zone. With Stoke coming off two straight wins, this prediction backs them to avoid defeat.
Cardiff will not only be looking to make the most of their home advantage, but they also seek to add to Stoke’s away day woes. However, the hosts’ form this season isn’t very encouraging.
They are one of the two remaining sides yet to win a game in the league. It got worse in the last game as they were stopped from scoring for the first time as the Bluebirds fell 2-0 to Portsmouth.
Stoke City will be happy to go hunting in Wales, as their opponents haven’t had a great run so far. The one area Stoke have struggled in dating back from last season is their away form.
The Potters are winless in the last 11 away matches, but there will be a positive twist to this one. They come here having registered two straight wins to mask their poor start to the campaign.
After their 1-0 win at home against Norwich, they did even better in the latest one, seeing off Charlton 4-0 on Saturday. Stoke will be gunning for a fourth straight unbeaten outing against this opponent.

Our Cardiff vs Stoke Prediction
These two sides haven’t started the season in the strongest fashion possible. Stoke City are just getting to their best and come here having won their last two matches. They are unbeaten in their last three meetings with Cardiff, though, winning once and drawing twice.
In the wake of their resounding win over Charlton, the Potters will be confident coming here. We don’t expect that Cardiff, playing at home, will be totally dominated, having only lost once in the four games there. In our prediction for Cardiff City v Stoke City, we are backing a double chance: Draw or Stoke City.
