Stoke City - Swansea City predictions

Swansea City will give Stoke City a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.50 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Stoke City on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

The Potters are coming on the back of a crushing 2:0 away defeat at the hands of Bristol City . The odds were against them from the start, and they never managed to recover from the early lead Bristol City grabbed.

The last time Swansea played a Championship match, it was a home game and an unfavourable matchup against Sheffield Wednesday. Their fans were hoping for a draw result after the undecided first half, but the game ultimately ended in a 0:1 defeat.

Stoke gans are hoping for better defensive performance then what they’ve seen in away games. The previous three matches featured 6 conceded goals.

Looking over the visitors’ record in away games, it seems they don’t do well when they’re out of the comfort of their home field. They’ve recorded a worrying number of conceded goals in their previous 3 away games – more than 5, to be more precise.

These two teams have shown to be evenly matched throughout the season. They’ve recorded multiple draws since the competition began, which doesn’t sit well with The Potters because they’re the favourites. They’ll have a shot at finally getting a positive score, though.

With Ben Wilmot, André Vidigal, Jordan Thompson, Lynden Gooch, Sol Sidibe, Nathan Lowe, Josh Wilson-Esbrand, Ali Al-Hamadi all out of the picture, Stoke’s lineup is in shambles. The odds may favour them though but we still advise some caution.

A Double Chance on Away or Draw is likely the best move here. It’s definitely on the safe side with some minor risks, but these two are the most likely outcomes of the showdown this Saturday.
