Team News

Cardiff
Stoke
  • Right-back Perry Ng was only fit enough to make the bench on Tuesday night, but he should return to the starting XI for the visit of Stoke.
  • One further change is expected from Cardiff boss Erol Bulut with David Turnbull pushing for a start in midfield.
  • Steven Schumacher could make a host of changes this weekend with Junior Tchamadeu and Bae Jun-Ho among those likely to return.
  • Stoke have no injuries to worry about this weekend, but striker Ryan Mmaee remains unavailable for selection for disciplinary reasons.

Prediction

  • Cardiff created the better of the chances against Blackburn on Tuesday night but couldn't find a way past Aynsley Pears as Erol Bulut's men were forced to settle for a goalless draw.
  • The Welsh side have taken just a single point from their last four league games ahead of the visit of Stoke on Saturday.
  • Stoke's narrow 1-0 win against QPR proved not to be a springboard for an ascent up the table with the Potters suffering a defeat by the same scoreline to play-off contenders Coventry last weekend.
  • After an initially promising start to life at the club, Steven Schumacher has now overseen five defeats in the space of six league games.
