Stoke vs Cardiff: top free betting tips

Stoke City take the pitch against Cardiff City to retain their winning form in the EFL Championship on Saturday, 4 November. The Bluebirds have also got the back of consecutive victories against Bristol City and Huddersfield.

Match result prediction: Stoke to win

Stoke City have won the last three games in EFL Championship successively, including victories against Leeds and Middlesbrough. Cardiff has also registered a winning momentum previously in the league. However, they have tasted three victories in their last four matches away from Cardiff City Stadium. Both teams have won once in their last five H2Hs at Bet365 Stadium. However, given the current state of affairs, we back Stoke City to have the upper hand and collect three points in this game.

Total goals prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Cardiff City have found the back of the net seven times in their last five league outings away from Cardiff City Stadium. However, Stoke City have rattled the net with an average of one goal per game in their last five league outings. Nevertheless, the Potters have also conceded only four goals in that course. The previous H2H meeting between these teams also ended with Under 2.5 Goals. Following the current situation, we predict another low-scoring total between Stoke City and Cardiff on coming Saturday. 

Correct score prediction: 1-0 to Stoke

Stoke City have claimed two consecutive clean sheets against Leeds United and Middlesbrough. On the other hand, Cardiff City have failed to find the back of the net in two of their recent three road fixtures. But the Bluebirds have also conceded only three goals in that duration. Meanwhile, Stoke City have succeeded in scoring more than once in only one of their last five games at Bet365 Stadium. Based on these numbers, we predict a narrow lead of 1-0 for Stoke City before the referee blows the full-time whistle.
