Current streaks

Recent form

Stoke City

Stoke City's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding a mixed bag of results. The Potters have managed just one win in their last six outings, drawing three and losing two. Their most notable performance came in a high-scoring affair against Portsmouth, where they romped to a 6-1 victory, showcasing their attacking potential. However, this impressive result was sandwiched between two defeats, highlighting their struggle for consistency. Defensively, Stoke have kept only one clean sheet in this period, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game. The team's goal difference of +1 and their current 16th position in the Championship table further emphasise their middling form. Interestingly, 67% of their matches have seen both teams score, suggesting that while Stoke are finding the back of the net regularly, they are also vulnerable at the back.

Bristol City

Bristol City have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, currently sitting 10th in the Championship with 14 points from 10 games. The Robins are on a five-game unbeaten run, which includes two wins and three consecutive draws. Their most recent outing saw them secure an impressive 2-0 away victory against Middlesbrough, ending their streak of draws. Defensively, City have been solid, keeping two clean sheets in their last six matches and conceding an average of just one goal per game. However, their attack has been somewhat lacklustre, also averaging only one goal per game. The team's matches have tended to be low-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games featuring fewer than 2.5 goals. Their heaviest defeat in this period came in a 3-0 loss to Blackburn Rovers, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in their recent run.

Recent home/away form

Stoke City

Stoke City's recent home form has been rather inconsistent, with the Potters struggling to string together consecutive positive results at the bet365 Stadium. Their last six home matches have yielded two wins, two draws, and two losses, mirroring their overall league position of 16th. The standout result in this run was undoubtedly their emphatic 6-1 victory over Portsmouth, which significantly boosted their goal-scoring statistics. This high-scoring affair contributed to Stoke's impressive average of 1.83 goals scored per game at home, although their defensive record has been less solid, conceding 1.33 goals per match. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 83% of these home games, suggesting that whilst Stoke have been finding the net regularly, they've struggled to keep clean sheets, managing just one in their last six home outings.

Bristol City

Bristol City's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Robins showing signs of improvement in their latest outings. After a challenging period where they suffered back-to-back 3-0 defeats against Blackburn Rovers and Derby County, City have bounced back with a draw against Swansea and an impressive 2-0 victory over Middlesbrough. The clean sheet against Middlesbrough is particularly noteworthy, as it marks their second in six away matches. While their goal difference remains slightly negative, the team have shown they can be potent in attack, as evidenced by their 3-0 win over Cheltenham in a friendly. The Robins' away performances have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of their matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their mid-table position, Bristol City's recent away form suggests they are becoming a more formidable force on the road.
