Stoke City desperately need points on Tuesday, Apr 6 at 8:45 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Stoke City come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Cardiff City, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (0W 2D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Stoke City and Cardiff City have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (1W–7D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Cardiff City won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Stoke City win or a draw looks most likely.
