Stoke City Preview – Can O’Neill’s Potters avoid a third successive defeat on Saturday?

Stoke City have had an abysmal second season in the Championship up until now. Before a ball was kicked, the Potters would have been targeting a top six finish at the very least, but they are now facing a fierce battle for survival.

City hover just above the drop zone in 21st spot at present, three points above 22nd-place Wigan Athletic. Last weekend, the bottom three of Barnsley, Luton Town and Wigan all picked up points, while Stoke were beaten 4-2 by Queens Park Rangers at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium.

Our betting prediction:
Both teams to score
10/11

Michael O’Neill’s troops have lost back-to-back matches and three of their last four in the Championship. In their last home game, Stoke were beaten 2-0 by Alex Neil’s Preston North End. Can they avoid another home defeat this Saturday?

Cardiff City Preview – Will the Bluebirds extend unbeaten league run to eight?

Cardiff City have been very hard to beat under Neil Harris. Since the former Millwall boss took over at the Cardiff City Stadium, the Welsh side have only been beaten twice in league action, though one of those defeats was a heavy 6-1 loss at QPR on New Year’s Day. Still, Cardiff’s recent form has put them on the cusp of the play-off places.

Despite dropping two points to lowly Wigan last weekend, City moved a step closer to the top six. Cardiff are now just three points behind sixth-place Preston. Harris’ side have been far from prolific away from home, but they have won their last two away matches, beating Luton Town and Huddersfield Town. All four of their away victories have come since the new boss arrived in Wales.
