Command Analysis
Stoke City
EnglandCurrent form
Stoke City are at the bottom of the League table. To be more precise, it is on the 18th line in the national championship. We manage to stay ahead of the relegation zone by only five points, and even that is due to the fact that in the last two rounds we managed to win against Hull City (2:1) and play a goalless draw with Oxford.
In the last round of the domestic cup, Stoke City scored an epic victory over Sunderland, scoring the winning goal in extra time. Let's see if we'll be lucky enough to continue playing in the national cup. The opponent is very passable, and it all depends on how the team treats the match.
Disqualifications and injuries
Manhoof, Pearson and Thompson are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Stoke City does not lose three matches in a row on their own field.
- In four of the last five matches, the hosts have scored
Approximate composition: Johansson – Tchamede, Phillips, Wilmot, Gooch – Seko, Burger, Koumas, Moran, Pe – Cannon.
Cardiff City
WalesCurrent form
Cardiff is next to their upcoming opponent in the Championship standings, one place lower (19th place), but also has one point less. The team is missing a lot. If you go into details, then in the Championship you had to get the ball out of your net 51 times, more than only Plymouth (62), which is in last place in the standings.
There was a game against Sheffield Wednesday in the last round of the FA Cup, and Cardiff won that match with a minimum score of 1:0. The upcoming opponent is no higher than the game class, so the guests are quite capable of competing for entry into 1/8.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are currently no injured players in the team.
Interesting betting trends
- On the road, Cardiff have managed to score in eight of their last nine matches.
- In nine out of ten previous away matches, Cardiff conceded
Approximate line–up: Alnwick – Rinomhota, Gutas, Dalan, O'dowda - Siopis, Chambers, Ashford, Robertson, Tanner – Colville.

1.68Tip and bets
Stoke City are the favorites in the upcoming match, but that's only because of the home field factor. But if you look at the history of face-to-face meetings, the hosts are not so lucky. They couldn't win the last nine matches against their upcoming opponent: six draws and three defeats. Taking into account the fact that recently the main result of both one and the other club has been a draw, we will bet that Cardiff will not be defeated at least during the regular season.
Our forecast is that Cardiff will not lose with a coefficient of 1.68
Bet on the total
Many factors indicate that the upcoming match will not be boring. Both teams make a lot of mistakes in their penalty area and concede on a regular basis. In addition, in six of the past seven face-to-face meetings, there were no zeros on the scoreboard. Based on all this, we come to the conclusion that two opponents will be able to distinguish themselves this time.
The bet is that both will score. This bet is offered for 1.82
Betting on corners
If the teams play the match the way we described above, then, in addition to the goals from both teams, we will see a decent number of serves from the corner flag.
The bet is a total of more than 8.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.68
