Cardiff City will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Stoke City after a difficult spell of results. The Bluebirds are winless in five matches in all competitions, including back-to-back defeats to QPR and Portsmouth. Their defensive problems were evident in the 2-0 loss to Portsmouth, who registered 2.07 xG. Dylan Lawlor, Calum Chambers and William Fish remain sidelined. However, Cardiff have scored 2.67 goals per home game across their last ten and have seen BTTS in all seven of those fixtures.
Stoke City, meanwhile, head into the midweek clash in excellent spirits after consecutive victories over Charlton and Norwich, including an impressive 4-0 demolition of the Canaries. Sam Gallagher and Bosun Lawal are doubtful after picking up knocks, but the Potters have failed to score in none of their last ten matches, averaging 1.40 goals per game. Their away record has been less convincing, though, with just a 33% win rate and 2.33 goals conceded per match.
Cardiff home games average 4.17 goals and given Stoke's signs of improvement up front, Both Teams to Score betting option should be considered, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
This Championship match will be played on Tuesday 8 September 2026 at 19:45.
