Stoke vs West Brom prediction: Baggies to sneak a win

Key stats

• West Brom are unbeaten away from this season.
• Stoke City were statistically the seventh-worst home team in the Championship last season.
• Both of these teams have scored at least one goal in two of three matches they've played this season.

Correct score prediction: Stoke 1-2 West Brom

West Brom looked good in their opening day win over QPR and weren't exactly bad the following week when they drew 0-0 with Leeds. Meanwhile, Stoke City, come into this one on the back of an abject 3-0 loss to Watford and there should still be some cobwebs to blow away from that. The extra quality that West Brom possess should prove crucial here.

Pre-game odds and win probability: All three results are on the table

• Home: 29/20 (2.45) – 40.8%
• Draw: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%
• Away: 15/8 (2.88) – 34.8%

The Stoke vs West Brom odds illustrate just how close this match should be. The bookies clearly aren't overly confident on the result and have therefore left all three results on the table. Ladbrokes have given Stoke a 40.8% chance of winning the match and West Brom a 34.8% chance. The draw is considered the least likely result at 23/10.

Most recent H2Hs: Nothing to split them

The recent record between the two clubs does nothing in terms of helping to predict who will come out on top here. The last six matches have been split evenly with two wins for both teams and two matches ending all square. Last season, both matches finished level so the law of averages suggests that we are due a winner one way or the other on Saturday.

Stoke preview: A club in limbo

Last season, Stoke came dangerously close to relegation and at one point they were among the favourites to go down. After saving the club, Steven Schumacher now needs to push the club on and make their fans dream again. A win at home against one of the league's biggest clubs would send a message.

Predicted lineup: Johansson (GK), Tchamadeu, Wilmot, Gibson, Bocat, Laurent, Thompson, Manhoef, Jun-Ho, Burger & Mmaee
