Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner for this clash, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Cardiff and Stockport will find the net twice at least between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Brian Barry-Murphy or Dave Challinor has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.22 equating to approximately a 79% probability.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Cardiff are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 44% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.91.
