Stoke City form and stats

Stoke City have only played one Championship game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 5 draws and 8 defeats from 23 matches.

Stoke lost their last game at Huddersfield Town (placed 14th) after a 1-3 scoreline. The penalty miss from Baker in the defeat against Huddersfield Town was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen. Midfield player Baker got a match rating of 7.34 in that game, the max score being 10. Baker scored one goal, hit two key passes and had 38 successful passes (of 47 total).

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 10 games. Stoke City has won 2 of these, drawn 3 and lost 5.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Stoke, as the Championship home game vs Sunderland is only three days away.

Stoke City has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
