Stoke City form and stats
Stoke City have played 4 Championship games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-0-2 (wins-draws-losses). We have seen two home losses in a row now for Stoke City, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
A strong away win for Stoke against Bristol City the last match, as Hakšabanović, Léris and Lowe were on target. At last, a league victory after five games without. The game against Bristol City had lots of late drama as Stoke City came back from being down 0-2 and finally secured the victory through Lowe's goal in the 89th minute. Manager Neil felt very clever after Lowe scored the winning goal against Bristol City, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 65th minute.
Before that game, a defeat in the away fixture against AFC Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup.
The manager Neil will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Leicester City in only four days.
Stoke have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Bet365 Stadium with 6 goals in 4 league matches. Stoke City have conceded 6 from these games.

A 1-2 defeat away at Middlesbrough before that.A quick return to home after this game, as Southampton are hosting Rotherham United in the Championship only four days away.
