• Cardiff lost their last Championship game against Stoke City 1-0 in April 2025, but have not lost successive league games to the Potters since February 2008.

• Stoke are looking to win back-to-back away league games against Cardiff City for only the second time, after doing so in October 1999.

• Cardiff have drawn both of their home league games this season; only in 1977-78, 1990-91, 1999-00, and 2000-01 have they started a league campaign with draws in their first three home matches.

• Stoke have lost each of their past nine away league outings, their longest run in the Football League since losing 10 in a row in September 1952.

• Stoke are winless in nine away league games against newly-promoted opponents (D3 L6) since a 5-1 win at Sunderland in March 2023.
