Stoke City come into this match in really good form, having won most of their recent games and looking sharp. Blackburn, on the other hand, have had a mixed run with more losses than wins, so they seem to be struggling a bit right now. There's no recent history between these two to look back on, so we can't say much about how their past meetings have gone.

Both teams have been involved in fairly low-scoring games recently, and neither has been blowing opponents away. Given Stoke's strong run and Blackburn's inconsistency, Stoke look the more likely side to come out on top, though it should be a fairly close and cagey match rather than a wide-open one.
