Command Analysis

Stoke City

Current form
Stoke City have had a rather unstable start to the season, constantly alternating successful matches with disastrous ones. Until recently, the team was one of the most uncompromising in the league, never playing a draw, but in the last two matches, the Citizens drew first with Swansea (0:0), and then with Norwich (1:1). Before that, the hosts brilliantly dealt with one of the season outsiders, Portsmouth (6:1). At the moment, the Potters occupy 16th place in the league table and are only three points ahead of Cardiff and Portsmouth from the relegation zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts will be without injured Linden Gooch, Bosun Lawal and Ben Pearson in the upcoming match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won only one of its last five matches.
- The hosts have drawn their last two matches
Estimated lineup : Johansson - Stevens, Gibson, Rose, Wilmot - Burger, Moran - Pae, Manhoef, Koumas - Cannon

Bristol City

Current form
Bristol City had a rather poor start to the season but have stabilised their fortunes recently, extending their unbeaten run to five games. During this period they have managed to win against Oxford United (2-1) and Middlesbrough (2-0), and in between these matches there were draws with Swansea (1-1), Sheffield Wednesday (0-0) and Cardiff (1-1). The hosts currently occupy 10th place in the league table, which is probably quite satisfactory for them. At the same time, the gap to fifth place is only four points.

The visiting team injured Robert Atkinson, Samuel Belle, Ayman Benarus, Robert Dickie and Cameron Pring will not take part in the game.
Interesting trends for betting

1.61Tip and bets
The rivals have not played a draw in face-to-face matches since 2020, but this streak should end at some point. The teams are currently in the middle of the table and do not have much prospect of moving up. The clubs are roughly equal in terms of squad level, and in the last rounds of this season, they have most often ended in a draw with their rivals. We believe that you can take a risk and bet on a draw with high odds.
Our prediction is a draw at 3.40
Bet on total
In the last three rounds, both teams have not conceded more than one goal per match, and in general throughout the season they have not had any particular problems with defense. Most likely, in a face-to-face match, the opponents will not score more than two goals. We suggest betting on the total under.
Bet - total under 2.5 goals. This bet is offered for 1.83
Bet on corners
Most likely, the opponents in this match will rely on defense and are unlikely to be able to earn more than 10 corners.
Bet - total under 10.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.85
