Recent form
Cardiff City
Cardiff City's recent form has been mixed, with the Bluebirds currently sitting in 22nd position in the Championship table. Over their last six matches, Cardiff have managed just one win, drawing three and losing two. The team are currently on a three-match unbeaten run, having drawn their last three fixtures. However, their goal difference remains negative, with Cardiff conceding slightly more goals than they've scored. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of Cardiff's recent matches, suggesting their games have been entertaining affairs. The majority of their matches (67%) have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency for high-scoring encounters. Despite this, Cardiff have struggled to keep clean sheets, managing just one in their last six outings, which may be a concern for the Welsh side as they battle to improve their league position.
Stoke City
Stoke City's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Potters struggling to find consistent results as they sit precariously in 20th position in the Championship. In their last six matches, Stoke have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses, scoring eight goals whilst conceding seven. Their goal difference of +1 over this period suggests a slight improvement in their attacking output, although defensively they have kept just one clean sheet. The Potters have been involved in relatively low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent matches seeing under 2.5 goals. However, their 3-2 loss to Coventry City stands out as a high-scoring encounter. Stoke's inability to string together consecutive wins has hampered their efforts to climb the table, with their most recent results showing a pattern of alternating between positive and negative outcomes.

Recent home/away form
Cardiff City
Cardiff City's recent home form has been mixed, with the Bluebirds struggling to find consistency at the Cardiff City Stadium. In their last six home matches, Cardiff have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses, mirroring their overall form in the Championship where they currently sit in 22nd position. The team have been involved in several close contests, with five of their last six home games being decided by a single goal or ending in a draw. Cardiff's attacking output has been modest, averaging just 1.17 goals per game, while their defence has conceded at the same rate. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of these matches, suggesting that Cardiff are often involved in competitive encounters. However, the lack of high-scoring games and the even split between under and over 2.5 goals indicates that their home matches have generally been tight affairs.
Stoke City
Stoke City's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the Potters enduring a challenging run of four consecutive defeats on the road before their most recent draw against Preston. This winless streak stretched from early February to mid-March, during which they conceded a concerning 10 goals in just four matches. The high-scoring affair against Norwich, which ended in a 4-2 defeat, stands out as a particularly eventful game. Stoke's defensive frailties are evident, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six away fixtures and conceding an average of two goals per game. Despite their struggles, the team have managed to find the back of the net in 67% of these matches, suggesting they retain some attacking threat. However, their current 20th position in the league table reflects their overall poor form, with just one away victory in their last six outings.
