Brentford form and stats

32 points is a decent return from 16 Championship games here at Brentford Community Stadium for Brentford. The data says 9 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses.

The Brentford supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Sheffield Wednesday in Championship and win 3-0. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Coventry City (0-2).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Brentford have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won six times, drawn five and lost two.

There will be little rest for Brentford after this match as they are travelling to Norwich City for a Championship game in only four days.

Stoke City form and stats

4-8-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Stoke City, who have the most clean sheets (9) away in Championship, in their Championship matches away. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Stoke have lost on their last two travels.

There might be some fixture complaints from Stoke as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Championship match against Barnsley (0-2). A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Luton Town.

We have checked recent matches where Stoke City have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were three victories, two draws and two defeats.

A new game in only four days for Stoke City, the Championship home match versus Swansea City. Busy days.

The visitors have scored 15 goals from 16 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Stoke City have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road.
