This could be an intriguing game with lots of spark and bustle as both squads are well rested since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's get started!
Stoke City U23 form and stats
Stoke City U23 have played three Premier League 2 Divison Two home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Stoke, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.
Stoke City U23 are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Fulham U23.
Before that, Stoke City U23 played out a Premier League 2 Divison Two draw 1-1 when visiting Southampton U23.Stoke are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Stoke have allowed more than three conceded goals on average in their home matches so far.
Nottingham U23 form and stats
The visitors are W2-D0-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League 2 Divison Two. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Nottingham, as they have won on their previous two travels.
There might be some fixture complaints from Nottingham as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Premier League Cup match against Queens Park Rangers U23 (2-6). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Queens Park Rangers U23 was particularly ugly (2-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Burnley U23.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Nottingham manager A. Reid as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Fulham U23.
Nottingham have scored 5 goals on their travels this season, from 4 away games in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Nottingham have conceded 6 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
