Another league defeat at the weekend has left Stoke City only four points above the relegation zone. They are 20th in the Championship and on Wednesday are home to eighth-placed Blackburn. Can Rovers get an away win? Here's our match prediction.
Stoke City lost 3-2 at Coventry on Saturday. They trailed 2-0, pulled it back level but then conceded in the 97th minute. That defeat has extended their winless run in the Championship to four games with one win in six.
Six of their last eight matches in all competitions have seen over 2.5 goals scored. That statistic has come up in three of their last five played at home. Eight goals have been scored in their last two home games against Blackburn.
Rovers are only three points behind the final promotion play-off position. Their hopes of a top six finish suffered a blow at the weekend when losing 2-1 at relegation-threatened Derby County. That was their ninth away league loss of the season with six of the last eight lost.
Their last five away league games have seen them concede nine goals. Four of their last five away league fixtures have seen over 2.5 goals scored.
We believe that statistic will come up again here.
