Prediction: 1-1
Stoke City
Cardiff City and Stoke City square off against each other at Cardiff City Stadium in what is expected to be a close encounter. The Blue Birds are eager to escape the relegation zone, but Saturday’s match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Both Will Alves and Yakou Meite are pushing for recalls after getting their names on the scoresheet in a 2-2 draw with QPR, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Potters, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back draws with Preston and Luton Town. As both Stoke City and Cardiff City will adopt a cautious approach in Saturday’s relegation six-pointer, we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Midfielder Souleymane Sidibe remains in the recovery room, while both Enda Stevens and Josh Wilson-Esbrand 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.
