Stoke and Cardiff settled for a point apiece as a cagey contest ended in a 0-0 stalemate at the bet365 Stadium.
Both sides maintain their recent unbeaten runs after a draw that was probably a fair result in a game of few clear-cut chances.
Dwight Gayle missed two good chances for the hosts late in the first half.
The Bluebirds also had opportunities to find a winner but a lack of composure in front of goal cost both teams the opportunity to take all three points.
The draw sees both sides slip in the Championship, with Cardiff down to seventh and Stoke to 12th.
