Stoke City form and stats

Stoke City have only played one Championship game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 9 wins, 5 draws and 9 defeats from 23 matches.

Happy days for Stoke in their previous game, a Championship match away at Swansea City (placed 20th) that ended with a 3-1 victory. Sam Clucas (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.15/10. Clucas scored one goal, hit four key passes and had 21 successful passes (of 24 total).

Before that, Stoke played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Birmingham City.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Stoke City's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won two matches, drawn zero and lost zero.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Doncaster Rovers are coming to town in three days.

Stoke City has scored 3 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Nottingham Forest form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Championship ended in defeat. Last season Nottingham Forest had these away match statistics: Played 23; won 6, drew 8 and lost 9. It's a growing despair in Nottingham Forest as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Championship home defeat versus Blackburn Rovers with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Philip Zinckernagel got a match rating of 7.43 in that game, top player of the team. Zinckernagel scored one goal and dribled passed the opponent 3 of 5 times.

A 1-2 loss hosting AFC Bournemouth before that.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Nottingham playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, one draw and one home win.

A quick return to home after this game, as Nottingham are hosting Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup only three days away.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Nottingham Forest has managed 1 goal and let in 2 from 1 match.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the prior seven meetings featuring these two participants are: two wins for Stoke, three draws and two wins for Nottingham Forest. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: four games.
