Prediction: 1-1
Cardiff
Stoke City will be aiming to extend their winning run to four games when they take on Cardiff City in the Championship round 15. The Potters have been impressive at the back of late and we are positive that they will continue relying on their rock-solid defence in the upcoming fixture. Ben Pearson has joined the likes of Ben Wilmot, Tyrese Campbell, Lewis Baker, and Emre Tezgel in the recovery room. Jordan Thompson is widely expected to replace Pearson in the starting eleven.
The Bluebirds, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Huddersfield Town (4-0) and Bristol City (2-0). Considering that the South Wales outfit have been impressive at the back of late as well, we are tempted to put our money on under 2.5 goals. All Kion Etete, Aaron Ramsey, and Callum ODowda are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the visiting team.
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.
