Prediction: 2-1
Cardiff
Bet365 Stadium will be the centre of attention when Stoke City and Cardiff City go head to head in the FA Cup last 32. The Potters aim to build on a 2-1 win over Hull City which saw them put an end to their five-game winless run. Lynden Gooch limped off with injury in the last league match, with Junior Tchamadeu likely to step up.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 7-0 loss to Leeds United, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. All Bagan, Salech, Mannsverk, and Perry Ng are pushing for recalls to the starting XI as boss Omer Riza is expected to make changes to the team that faced the Whites at Elland Road. Both Ryotaro Tsunoda and David Turnbull are major doubts.
Highlighted Player (Jack Bonham):
Jack Bonham is a professional footballer who was born in Stevenage on the 14th of September, 1993. The 26-year-old, although having born in England, is an Irish International and has featured for the Republic of Ireland's Under-17 team five times.
At the club level, he began his youth career with Watford and signed his first professional contract in September 2010 at the age of 17. Bonham's first-ever professional appearance came on the 4th of May, 2013 as a substitute against Leeds United in the final game of the 12/13 Championship season.
This appearance marked the 1.92 m standing goalkeeper's only appearance in a Watford shirt. Bonham then went on to play for clubs like Brentford, Carlisle United and Bristol Rovers before eventually joining Gillingham at the start of the 2019 season on a two-year contract. He's since featured nine times for the club and kept two clean sheets.
Highlighted Team (Cardiff):
Cardiff City are a Welsh football club that compete in the English second tier (Championship). In 2009 they moved from Ninian Park to Cardiff City Stadium, the venue that officially holds 33,280 spectators.
The Bluebirds played their first ever Premier League match on 18 August, 2013, but they were beaten by West Ham United (0-2) on their debut in the English top flight. However, a week later Fraizer Campbell (two goals) and Aron Gunnarson helped Cardiff City record their first ever win in the Premier League.
The Bluebirds outplayed Manchester City back then, but they eventually dropped to the Championship at the end of the season. Fellow Welsh outfit Swansea City are considered Cardiff’s fiercest rivals and the two teams take on each other in the South Wales derby.
The colour of Cardiff City’s home kit is blue, whilst they wear red shirts and shorts when playing on the travels.
