Stoke City vs Bristol City Predictions

• Stoke are unbeaten in their last five Championship matches
• Bristol City have taken one point from their last three league matches
• Bristol City have failed to score in five of their last seven matches in all competitions

Stoke starting to fire under Neil

Stoke have put together a five-match unbeaten run which gives them an outside chance of making the play-offs. Alex Neil’s side have taken 11 points from their last five Championship matches and served up the performance of the weekend last week when they dispatched Coventry 4-0. The average league position of their five opponents on this unbeaten run is seventh and Stoke are strongly fancied to make it six unbeaten against Bristol City.

Robins must turn attentions to next season

Bristol City have taken one point from their last three Championship matches, all but ending their slim chances of making the top six.

Bristol City have scored just once in their last three matches and have failed to trouble the scorers in five of their last seven outings, they have a host of talented young players who aren’t clicking at the moment and it’s hard to make a strong case for Nigel Pearson’s side in this one.

Stoke to win in the outright market will be the headline selection for Friday’s game, with a 2-0 home victory forming the correct score prediction, Stoke have kept clean sheets back-to-back clean sheets in their last two matches against Norwich and Coventry.
