Stoke City, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 2-0 away win over Middlesbrough in their last league game, Stoke City will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 42%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Middlesbrough, who had 9 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager Alex Neil will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 6 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Cardiff City, Recent FormCardiff City will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 home win against Bristol City. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Bristol City's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 4 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Aaron Ramsey has scored 3 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Stoke City.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The last 4 matches between The Bluebirds and Stoke show that The Bluebirds have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
