Stoke City Aim to Stay Unbeaten at Home

Stoke City occupy sixth place after eleven matches, four points clear of Bristol City in sixteenth. Their recent record includes four wins from five games, giving them momentum heading into this fixture. At home they have averaged two goals scored and just 1.2 conceded per game so far. Bristol City have struggled for goals this season, managing only 0.8 per match on average, and they enter with two defeats in their last three outings. Head-to-head results show the home side unbeaten in five of the past ten encounters. Stoke’s matches have featured both teams scoring in eight of their eleven league games to date. Much will depend on whether Bristol City can find a way through Stoke’s organised defence at the Bet365 Stadium.
