Stoke City Preview – Can Potters end on high at home?
Stoke City’s winless run in the Championship was extended to five matches last weekend when they drew 1-1 away from home at Nottingham Forest as Stoke’s season has fizzled out in disappointing fashion with a mid-table finish looking likely.
Three defeats within this five-match period have seen Stoke slip up to losses against Millwall, Birmingham City and Coventry City, while draws with Preston NE and Nottingham Forest have been scant reward for their efforts in recent weeks.
Stoke have won just two of their last nine matches overall so the prospects of a home win here do seem slim but the lack of goals has seen 12 of Stoke’s 22 home games resulting in under 2.5 goals.
QPR Preview – Can R’s finish top half?
It’s been another frustrating campaign for QPR in the Championship as they very briefly flirted with the prospect of a possible play-off spot earlier in the season but may also have to settle for a mid-table finish this term as The R’s sit in 10th place but find themselves a significant 15 points off the pace of the top six.
Since early March though, QPR have produced some promising displays and results as the London club have won seven of their 12 matches during this period, losing just four while on the road, QPR have lost just three of their last 14 matches which is a marked improvement upon previous campaigns.
Recent back-to-back wins on the road at Middlesbrough and Swansea City should give QPR belief in getting a result at Stoke here too, but we shouldn’t expect too many goals as 13 of QPR’s 22 away matches have also seen under 2.5 goals.
