Cardiff vs Stoke City Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Four of Cardiff’s last five games have seen over 2.5 goals scored
• Cardiff have scored nine goals in their last five games
• Stoke are without a win in four games

Cardiff scrapping for survival

Cardiff City remain just two points outside of the relegation zone, albeit with a game in hand over every team below them, and will be looking to make the most of their strong goalscoring form to pull them closer to survival. An excellent 3-1 win last time out against a Watford side who needed a win to keep their playoff hopes alive bodes well for the coming games if you are a Cardiff City fan.

Saturday’s opponents Stoke City have not won any of their last four games, after an unbeaten run throughout March dragged them away from the relegation zone, and would now need a nine point swing in just three games to pull them back in – it’s fair to say Stoke may well be ‘on the beach.’ Cardiff will be more up for it come Saturday, and should have enough to pull them over the line, while they have seen over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five games. A tip for Cardiff to win and over 2.5 goals on Saturday looks great odds here.

Stoke are on the beach

After their unbeaten run between the 4th of March and the 1st of April, Stoke have failed to win since, but with their nine point gap and vastly superior goal difference extremely unlikely to be overturned, the Potters are safe.

Cardiff are the side who need to win going into this one, and with an excellent victory last time out they will have the confidence to do so again. The Bluebirds have scored nine goals in their last five games, with both victories in this time ending 3-1, but they have only kept a clean sheet in one of their last seven games. As a result, a correct score prediction of 2-1 Cardiff stands out.
