What to expect

We expect about 1.3 goals from Stoke and 1.2 from Bristol City, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.5 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Bristol City come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Stoke or Draw. This covers Stoke or the draw, trading a shorter price for a wider safety net. A sensible way to back the lean without needing the exact result.

We put the chance of that landing at about 66 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.33, which works out at about 75 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
✓Stoke have won four of their last five.
✓Bristol City have won two of their last five.
✓Three of the last five meetings had three goals or more.
✓Both teams scored in two of the last five meetings.
