Prediction: Stoke vs. Fulham (19.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Stoke City and Fulham haven’t faced since September 2015 in the League Cup, with the Potters winning 1-0 at Craven Cottage. Stoke City are looking to win consecutive league matches under Nathan Jones for the first time, last doing so in October 2018 under Gary Rowett. Fulham and Stoke haven’t faced in a league match outside the top-flight since March 1999, when the Cottagers won 1-0 under Kevin Keegan in a third-tier game.

Seeking only their third Championship home win of 2019, after four home losses on the spin, Stoke have conceded over 1.5 home goals in five of their six matches here. Yet, despite conceding goals in both halves of four matches in that group, the ‘Potters’ have only trailed at the break in two of their six home league games. Stoke striker Scott Hogan has scored with all three of his shots on target in the Championship this season. Stoke have also shipped the joint-most goals of the campaign (22), while capitulating the lead in three of their last six league matches. However, the H2H stakes offer encouragement to the ‘Potters’, with Stoke winning the last three home H2Hs, and no draw being played out in 13 competitive H2Hs across all venues.

Fulham, on the other hand, are unbeaten in six Championship matches. Scoring first in seven of 11 league fixtures to date (W5, D2), the ‘Cottagers’ have led at the break in two of their last six Championship matches. Fulham have completed 6,091 passes in the Championship this season, 1,257 more than any other side. Winning two of their five awaydays so far, Fulham have turned a corner after losing nine of their last 14 Championship or Premier League away days this calendar year. Fulham also kept just one clean sheet in this period of away matches.
