We say: Stoke City 1-2 Hull CityWhile Stoke are usually capable of beating any team in the Championship at home, they remain far from convincing. With that in mind, we are backing the consistency of Hull, who may edge this contest with a goal in the closing stages.

Luke O’Nien: 5/10 Struggled with runners getting around him in the first half, was better in the second but the winner came from another runner getting beyond him. Created a half chance with a cross for Simms and linked up well with Amad down the right once Roberts went off. Danny Batth: 6/10 Sold short by Wright for the penalty and left with no chance but was solid otherwise despite the lack of protection in front of him. Bailey Wright: 5/10 Had an absolute shocker with his pass that led to the penalty, better after that and defended well. Dennis Cirkin: 6/10 A good effort at left back without standing out. Dan Neil: 3/10 Started really poorly with another turn into trouble when he was the last man, luckily the team got away with that one but Neil couldn’t get hold of the game and although he did steal the ball a few times it was a game to forget.

Andy’s Player Ratings: Sunderland 0-1 Cardiff - Mowbray’s men turn in worst performance so farThere’s no defending that - it was absolutely dogsh*t. Here’s how Andy rated the performances of the Sunderland players. By Nov 5, 2022, 5:11pm GMT Photo by Cardiff City FC/Getty Images Anthony Patterson: 7/10 Made a really good save from the penalty and, other than a bit of a rush of blood in the second half, dealt well with everything that came his way.
Amad Diallo: 6/10 Had a shot blocked that would have gone in after being played in by Roberts and whipped a shot just wide in the second half, looked more dangerous in the second half when Pritchard came on. Ellis Simms: 5/10 Isolated for much of his time on the pitch, got a bit of support before he went off with Clarke getting alongside him and flicked a header onto the roof of the net but handled well by Kipre. Substitutes Alex Pritchard: 6/10 Put a free kick into the side netting and helped us keep the ball nearer to the Cardiff box.
It should also be noted, the Black Cats have seen three of their opening four contests on home soil finish with both teams finding the net. As for the visitors, while Cardiff might have only just about clung to their Championship status last season, the Bluebirds have come flying out of the traps this time around. Last seen earlier in the week claiming a lively 3-2 win at home against Coventry, Erol Bulut’s side are certainly riding a real wave of momentum. Marking their return from September’s international break with a stellar 2-0 win against bitter local rivals Swansea, the one-time Fenerbahce boss should find the mood in his camp at a red-hot high.
Their most recent meeting came in April 2023 when Sunderland claimed a 1-0 away win. Four of the last five head-to-head games have seen at least one side fail to find the back of the net. Sunderland are currently enjoying their finest run of form at Championship level since 2007. Six of Sunderland's seven league games this season have produced at least three goals, with five games witnessing goals at both ends. Cardiff City's four away games in all competitions this season have witnessed goals at both ends and also produced three goals or more. Sunderland vs Cardiff City Prediction Sunderland started the season with consecutive losses in the league and EFL Cup, leaving fans to fear the worst. However, Tony Mowbray has steadied the ship since then, guiding the Tynewear outfit to their best run of form in the Championship for over 15 years.
Abdoullah Ba: 3/10 Showed a couple of flashes of his obvious talent but struggled throughout his time on the pitch, had one burst forward but chose to shoot rather than play in Roberts and then a really poor pass in the lead up to the Cardiff opener. Patrick Roberts: 5/10 Played in Amad for a shot that was blocked and put himself in a good position only for Ba to decide to take the shot on but a quiet game. Jack Clarke: 5/10 Only able to show glimpses of his form in the first half as he was starved of the ball, had once shot deflected wide and a good run led to an Amad chance. Had a more central role in the second half but no real chance to make an impact.
