Prediction: 1-0
Stoke City
Following a goalless draw with Preston, Cardiff City will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Championship when they take on Stoke City on Matchday 38. The Bluebirds have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Derby and QPR, while sharing the spoils with Preston in their last league match. Cardiff City have little to play for in the remainder of the season, but their pride will be at stake in the midweek clash.
All Sean Morrison, Curtis Nelson, and Max Watters are sidelined with injuries, speaking of the home team. The Potters, on the other hand, failed to win the previous seven league fixtures, and given Cardiff City’s fine form, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. As for the away side, all Souttar, Moore, Sima, Powell, Philogene-Bidace, and Fox miss out with injuries.

The Curacao international scored his first Premier League goal in September, 2013 against Manchester City, but seeing that Aston Villa coaches often used him as a full back he was not impressive in front of goal in previous seasons.
