Current streaks

Recent form

Stoke City

Stoke City are experiencing a troubling run of form, having failed to secure a victory in their last eight matches. The Potters' recent performances have been particularly concerning, with four losses in their last six games and only two draws to show for their efforts. Their defensive struggles are evident, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game over this period, whilst their attacking output has been lacklustre, managing just 0.67 goals per game. The team's inability to keep clean sheets is also noteworthy, with only one in their last six matches. Despite an equal split between high and low-scoring games, Stoke's goal difference of -6 in this period highlights their overall ineffectiveness at both ends of the pitch. Their current 19th position in the Championship table reflects this poor run of form, leaving the club in a precarious position as they struggle to find consistency and much-needed victories.

Leeds United

Leeds United have been in impressive form recently, showcasing their strength in the Championship. The Whites have won four of their last six matches, with a particularly strong run of three consecutive victories in their most recent outings. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored 13 goals in these six games, averaging an impressive 2.17 goals per match. Defensively, Leeds have been solid, conceding just three goals and keeping three clean sheets during this period. The standout performance came in their latest match, a commanding 4-0 victory over Oxford United, which represents their highest-scoring game in this run. With 45 points from 22 games and sitting in 2nd position, Leeds United are demonstrating the form of serious promotion contenders.

Recent home/away form

Stoke City

Stoke City have been struggling to find consistent form at home, with their last six matches yielding only one victory against Derby County. The Potters have shown a tendency to draw, with four of their recent six home games ending in stalemates. Notably, Stoke have managed to score in five out of these six matches, demonstrating their ability to find the back of the net at the bet365 Stadium. However, their defensive record has been a concern, with only one clean sheet in this period. The team's goal-scoring average of 1.17 per game is slightly overshadowed by their goals conceded average of 1.33, resulting in a negative goal difference. Interestingly, both teams have scored in two-thirds of these matches, suggesting that Stoke's home games have been competitive affairs, with an even split between high and low-scoring encounters.

Leeds United

Leeds United's recent away form in the Championship has been a mixed bag, with the team struggling to find consistency on the road. Despite their strong overall league position, their last six away games have yielded just one win, three draws, and two losses. The Whites have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, most notably a thrilling 4-3 victory against Swansea. However, they've also had difficulty finding the back of the net in other matches, failing to score in three of their last six away fixtures. Leeds have managed only one clean sheet during this period, indicating some defensive vulnerabilities away from home. Their goal difference of -1 over these six games suggests they've been somewhat evenly matched with their opponents, but the team will likely be looking to improve their away form to solidify their promotion push.
