Team analysis: Stoke
Currently, Stoke sits in 20th position with 39 points, having achieved 9 wins, 12 draws and 17 losses. In their most recent match, they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Millwall, following a home victory over Blackburn Rovers by the same scoreline. The team is notably stronger at home, where they’ve recorded 4 wins, 8 draws and 3 losses, scoring 16 goals and conceding 17. In contrast, their away form reads 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses, with 16 goals scored and 26 conceded. Over the last 10 games at home in the Championship, Stoke has managed 3 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, collecting 13 points from a possible 30. The most frequent half-time score at home has been 0-0 (8 in 19 games), and their defensive solidity has been questionable, having conceded goals in 7 of their last 10 matches. In 38 games this season, they have only turned matches around twice after conceding the first goal.
Stoke City enters this match following a 1-0 defeat to Millwall. They typically set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Million Manhoef, Ali Al-Hamadi, and Jun-Ho Bae leading the attack. Lewis Baker plays a pivotal role in the match’s organisation, while they often exploit the left flank, relying on the depth provided by Eric Junior Bocat. Lewis Koumas is suspended for this match.
Team analysis: QPR
QPR currently occupies 15th place with 45 points, accumulated from 11 wins, 12 draws, and 15 losses. They lost 2-1 to Middlesbrough in their penultimate match, and drew 2-2 at home against Leeds United last time out. Like Stoke, they are influenced by home advantage, as their away form has seen them record just 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in the last 30 games, with 12 goals scored and 22 conceded. At home, they have been more prolific, winning 7, drawing 4 and losing 4, netting 25 times while conceding 18. In the Championship, QPR has picked up 8 points from the last 30 available while playing away, with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses in their last 10 outings.
Recent performances have seen them suffer 5 consecutive defeats as the away side, and they frequently reach half-time with a score of 0-0 (10 times in 19 games). The defence has allowed goals in 9 of the last 10 encounters, indicating a lack of solidity, although their attack has managed to score in 7 of those matches. In 38 fixtures this season, they have only overturned the score in 2 of the 21 matches in which they conceded first. Remarkably, 6 of their 15 goals have come during the 61st to 75th minute in their last 19 away matches.
Queens Park Rangers head into this fixture following a 2-2 draw. The goals from their latest match against Leeds United were scored by Koki Saito and Steve Cook. They typically adopt a 4-3-3 formation, with Karamoko Dembélé, Michael Frey, and Paul Smyth at the forefront of their attack. When going forward, they mostly utilise the right wing, leveraging the width provided by defender Jimmy Dunne. Koki Saito is also unavailable due to suspension.
