Cardiff City host Stockport County after a 2-1 victory over Bradford City, despite missing key players Kellyman, Colwill, and King, who were not missed in their recent win. As both sides are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach, we predict a 2-2 win. The Bluebirds are in strong form, winning 60% of their matches and averaging 1.5 goals scored and 1.2 conceded per game. At home, Cardiff are particularly dangerous, scoring 1.8 goals per match while maintaining a 40% clean sheet rate.
The Hatters have been in a fine form as well, having edged Rotherham 3-2 last weekend. Stockport County are consistent on the road, winning 50% of away matches and scoring 1.0 goal per away game while keeping clean sheets in 50% of their trips. Both teams have attacking intent, with Cardiff and Stockport averaging 2.7 and 2.8 goals per game respectively, and both sides scoring in 60–70% of their matches.
Head-to-head history is limited, with the only previous encounter ending in a draw with both teams scoring. We predict another open contest with goal-scoring opportunities at both ends, with BTTS, Over 2.5 goals and Over 3.5 goals boasting big value.
This League 1 match will be played on Saturday 24 January 2026 at 12:30.
