Swansea City suffered a heavy 3-0 loss away from home at Ipswich Town last weekend in the Championship but overall results in recent times for the Welsh hosts have been generally encouraging ahead of this weekend’s action in the second tier.
Indeed, Swansea City have slipped to just three losses in their last nine league matches, all of which were incurred on their travels at 5th placed Hull City, 8th placed Derby County and aforementioned 3rd placed Ipswich Town respectively.
Meanwhile, results on home soil at their swansea.com Stadium have been impressive to say the least as The Swans are unbeaten in each of their last nine home games, collecting no fewer than seven victories in the process within a a pretty reliable looking home record of 9-5-4 26/19.
Stoke City manager, Mark Robins, experienced a disappointing return to the CBS Arena against his former club Coventry City last weekend as The Potters were dealt a 2-1 defeat to the Sky Blues, leaving Stoke in 14th place in the Championship table and now a massive 10 points adrift of the play-off pack.
Stoke’s play-off ambitions have well and truly imploded from mid-January to date as The Potters have managed to capture just one win in their subsequent nine matches, that being a 2-1 home win against relegation threatened Oxford United.
However, four draws along with four defeats including recent back-to-back losses on the road at Charlton Athletic and Coventry City have contributed to Stoke City’s decline down the Championship table where the visitors hold an away record of 6-4-8 16/17 so far this term.
The Betting Verdict
Swansea City are unbeaten in their last two meetings at home against Stoke City.
The Pick :
Swansea City 1-0 Stoke City
