Stoke City Preview – Can Stoke fire up?

A miserable 5-0 defeat away from home during the week at Elland Road against the Championship league leaders, Leeds United, will have done very little for Stoke’s fragile confidence ahead of this important encounter against Birmingham City on Sunday lunchtime at the bet365 Stadium.

It’s just one win from their last five matches overall for the hosts, Stoke City, which came in the shape a rousing 4-0 home win against relegation-threatened Barnsley, but having lost to Leeds United, Stoke now also find themselves sitting on the fringe of the relegation zone and just one point above third from bottom club, Hull City.

Form in general at home has been indifferent for the hosts as their overall home record of 9-3-9 33/26 suggests, but Stoke have lost just twice in their last 11 matches at the bet365 Stadium so they stand a chance of picking up at least a point here.

Our betting suggestion:
Over 2.5 goals

Birmingham City Preview – Can Birmingham break their drought?

A heavy 3-1 defeat at home in midweek to play-off chasing Swansea City condemned Birmingham City to a third league defeat on the trot in the Championship and extended Birmingham’s run of matches without a win to 10.

Recent defeats to Huddersfield Town, Fulham and Swansea City have meant that Birmingham have been unable to pull further away from the relegation zone and although they currently occupy the relative safety of 17th place on the Championship ladder, The Blues are just four points above the bottom three.

However, it’s not all doom and gloom as the west midlands club have suffered just one defeat out of their last nine matches away from home which was a narrow 1-0 loss at 3rd placed Fulham but points on the road at Millwall, QPR and 2nd placed West Brom should still give the visitors belief that they can pick up something against The Potters.
