Double chance : Stoke City or draw

Form and context

Stoke City sit in the Championship play-off places after 11 fixtures and start the weekend within three points of the automatic promotion places. The Potters beat Derby County 1-0 last time out, while Bristol City are 16th and have won just one of their past six games.

Team news

  • Stoke City: No confirmed team news yet.
  • Bristol City: No confirmed team news yet. Lorent Tolaj has been injured, though the source does not give a return date.

What the numbers say

  • Stoke have won six of their past eight league games (D1 L1) and have collected 19 points since the start of September.
  • Bristol City have lost their past two league games by 1-0 scorelines and have scored three goals in their past six games.
  • Stoke are unbeaten in their previous three home league games against Bristol City (W2 D1).
  • Ethan Galbraith has assisted in three of his past four league games for Stoke and leads the Potters for league goal involvements with six.

Our view

Stoke's recent league run is strong and their home record in this fixture is solid, while Bristol City are struggling for goals and results. The visitors will need a much sharper attacking display to change that pattern.

Most likely outcome: home win - Stoke's six wins in eight league games and Bristol City's one win in six point the same way.
