West Brom vs Stoke City

Current streaks

Recent form

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Baggies struggling to string together consecutive wins in their last six matches. Their most recent outing saw them suffer a heavy 5-1 defeat to Bournemouth in the FA Cup, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. Despite currently sitting in 6th position in the Championship, West Brom's goal difference over the last six games is negative, having conceded more goals than they've scored. The team's defensive record is a concern, with only one clean sheet in their last six matches and an average of 1.67 goals conceded per game. On a positive note, West Brom have been relatively consistent in finding the back of the net, scoring in five out of their last six games, with both teams scoring in 83% of these matches. The Baggies' total goals average of 3.17 per game suggests their matches have been entertaining affairs for neutral spectators.

Stoke City

Stoke City's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the Potters showing signs of improvement after a difficult spell. Despite sitting in 19th place in the Championship, Stoke have managed to string together a three-match unbeaten run across all competitions, including a crucial FA Cup victory against Sunderland. The team's defensive solidity has been noteworthy, with three clean sheets in their last six matches and an impressive 83% of games featuring under 2.5 goals. However, goal-scoring remains a concern for Stoke, with just three goals netted in their last six outings, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. The Potters have shown resilience in bouncing back from consecutive losses against Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday, and their recent performances suggest they may be turning a corner in their battle to climb the Championship table.

Recent home/away form

West Brom

West Bromwich Albion have shown impressive form at home recently, with a current three-match winning streak at The Hawthorns. The Baggies have been particularly strong defensively, keeping three clean sheets in their last six home games, including two consecutive shutouts against Bristol City and Coventry City. Their goal-scoring prowess has also been noteworthy, with an average of 1.83 goals per game in their last six home matches. Interestingly, West Brom have drawn three consecutive home games prior to their current winning run, demonstrating their resilience and ability to avoid defeat. While there haven't been any particularly high-scoring encounters, the team's overall goal difference of +6 in these six games highlights their solid performances at both ends of the pitch.

Stoke City

Stoke City's recent away form has been rather disappointing, with the Potters struggling to find consistency on the road. They've managed just one win in their last six away matches, which came in their most recent outing against Sunderland in the FA Cup. Prior to that victory, Stoke had endured a challenging run of three consecutive away defeats in the Championship, conceding two goals in each of those losses. The team's defensive frailties are evident, having kept only one clean sheet in their last six away games and conceding an average of 1.33 goals per game. Despite their struggles, Stoke have shown some resilience, securing two draws during this period. Interestingly, 67% of their away matches have seen both teams score, suggesting that while Stoke are finding the net, they're also vulnerable at the back. With an average of 2.17 total goals per game, Stoke's away fixtures have been relatively evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs.
