Cardiff vs Stoke City

Cardiff City are unbeaten across their last nine league games against Stoke City (W3 D6), winning this exact fixture 2-1 at home last season.

Stoke City have failed to win any of their last six away league games against Cardiff City (D3 L3) since a 1-0 victory in August 2007.

Each of Cardiff’s last three league games have been draws of a different scoreline (1-1 v Sheffield Wednesday, 0-0 v QPR, 2-2 v Preston); the Bluebirds last drew four successive league games in December 2022, a run which included a 2-2 draw to Stoke City.

Stoke have managed to win just one of their last 13 away league matches (D4 L8), a 2-1 victory at Hull in February.

Stoke’s Lewis Baker has scored seven goals in the Championship this season; only in 2021-22 has he netted more in a single league campaign (8). Baker has five goals in his last eight league appearances, as many as his previous 52 beforehand.
