Stoke City form and stats
The overall Championship statistics at home this season for Stoke City are 2-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).
The Stoke crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Rotherham United here at Bet365 Stadium. The first defeat after collecting points in three league fixtures. Wilmot was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.4 out of 10. The defender Wilmot hit one key pass and won 16 of 21 duels.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Preston North End and winning 2-0.This is expected to be a close game, with Stoke City perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Stoke City as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Stoke City has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 5.
Stoke City has scored 8 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Stoke City have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Coventry City form and stats
There's been little loot from Coventry City's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 8 away games in the Championship. Coventry City only have 1 win to counter their 3 defeats and 4 draws.
Coventry have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Ben Wilson. It's been 231 minutes since they last conceded in Championship.
Waghorn scored in Coventry City's previous match, the home game against Sheffield United that ended 1-0. Panzo, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.23. Panzo won 4 of 8 duels.
Ahead of that match was the victory versus Cardiff City at their stadium, the result 1-0.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 15 similar matches played by Coventry City in our archives, and the results are: 4 wins for Coventry, 6 draws and 5 defeats.
