Cardiff City Stoke City betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 16^th position of the league, with 22 points won, after 5 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Bristol City, by (0‑1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Charlton Athletic, by (2‑2). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. For the league, Cardiff City won 17 points out of 24 possible points, after 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in the last 8 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Cardiff heads into this match after an away draw by 2-2 against Charlton. The home team usually plays in a 4-3-3, favoring a more leisurely style of play, preferentially directing their attack through the central corridor. The three "arrows" pointed at the "enemy" goal will be Mendez-Laing, Madine and Hoilett, and the man responsible for defining and conducting the offensive attacks, the Scottish Paterson. The home coach will not be able to count on Danny Ward for being injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Neil Etheridge, Joe Bennett, Curtis Nelson, Aden Flint, Lee Peltier, Leandro Bacuna, Marlon Pack, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, Junior Hoilett, Lee Tomlin, Gary Madine.
