Cardiff will be hoping to get a first win in six against Stoke with a win against City and 1-0 would do the hosts just nicely. That score is available at 8's with Bet365, Coral and WilliamHill. Seven of the Potters games this season have ended 2-1 so 10's with BlueSQ, SkyBet and BetFred for a 2-1 home win could turn out to be a good bet.
Jon Walters is likely to start up top tonight and has been a regular Championship goalscorer in the last few years and is 15/2 with VictorChandler and SkyBet to open the scoring whilst Ricardo Fuller is set to be back in the side and looks set to start up front and is also 27/4 with UniBet to score first.

The Englishman is 13/2 with VictorChandler and BlueSQ to break the deadlock, whilst strike partner Jay Bothroyd is11/2 with Coral and SkyBet to net first.
