Our prediction for the match Bristol City vs Stoke City
“The Robins” once again showed that they remain the middle peasants of the current season. They got 62 points, taking a modest 11th place according to additional indicators. “The Potters” collected 6 points less. As a result, this club was again hanging around at the bottom of the table, finishing in 17th position.
This season, the current guests lose twice as often as they win. At the same time, they overcame Sunderland in the cup confrontation and the only time in the Championship since November when the club won was in the meeting with the same opponent. And then only the struggle with Hull brought a victory – 2-1. Speaking about the 1/16 finals of the cup, where the team competed with Cardiff, there happened a spectacular 3-3 draw and elimination in a penalty shoot-out. The hosts of the arena are doing much better – they win more often than they lose. In January, they also coped with Derby County and Blackburn at the home arena. At the same time, the confrontation with Oxford United resulted only in a draw, and Swansea beat the team on the home field.
Liam Manning’s footballers score just under 1.25 goals. At the same time, they concede not much less – 1.16. The guests’ attack scores only 0.93 goals per round, and an average of 1.23 goals per game is conceded.
