Last Game: Hull City 1-2 Stoke
Saturday, February 1 at 3pm in Championship
Last Game: Leeds 7-0 Cardiff
Saturday, February 1 at 3pm in Championship

We say: Stoke City 1-1 Cardiff City (a.e.t, Stoke to win on penalties)

An encounter as close as the Championship table would suggest should be on the cards on Saturday, where Stoke may not be best-placed to capitalise on Cardiff's recent Leeds collapse given their lack of output at home. The lottery of penalties may be required to separate the two second-tier sides, where the Potters have our vote to maximise home advantage, lift their Cardiff curse and progress to round five.
