Stoke City vs West Bromwich Albion Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• West Brom have lost 47% of their away games this season
• Stoke have lost just once in their last seven games
• West Brom have conceded five goals in their last two games

Stoke’s season turnaround

Stoke City have been inconsistent this season, a large part of why they currently sit 15th in the league, but have lost just one of their last seven games. This recent form has seen the Potters pick up points against playoff-chasing sides Coventry, Norwich, Middlesbrough and Blackburn.

Their opponents West Brom, meanwhile, are without a win in their last four games, including draws against struggling Cardiff and QPR, as well as a loss against Rotherham, and the Baggies have lost 47% of their away games this season. As a result of Stoke’s recent form, a prediction tip of Stoke to win stands out here, as it looks likely they’ll get a result despite the difference in league position due to West Brom’s struggles.

West Brom struggling

West Brom were many people’s tip for promotion this season, particularly during their spell of good form following the appointment of Carlos Corberan, with the Baggies having lost just twice between the 1st of November and the 3rd of February. More recently, though, the West Midlands side have lost just three of their last 11 games, and are without a win in their last four.

They have been leaky defensively recently, conceding five goals in their last two games, and struggle away from home, having lost 47% of their away games this season. As a result, a correct score prediction of 2-1 Stoke looks good here.
