Stoke City form and stats

Stoke City have collected 21 points from their Championship home games so far after 6-3-5. Three consecutive losses here at Bet365 Stadium is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

1-1 away at Huddersfield Town before that.

This is expected to be a close game, with Stoke 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 eleven games. Stoke City has won two of these, drawn four and lost five.

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

The Stoke City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 14 matches. Stoke City have conceded 16 in these home matches.
