Match preview: Stoke vs Sheff United
Stoke and Sheff United will meet at the Bet365 Stadium in the 45th round of the Championship. In their last encounter in this competition on 26-2024, Sheffield United secured a home victory with a score of (2-0). The direct head-to-head record favours the away side, who have won 3 of their last 5 matches while losing 2. Careful consideration is needed regarding home and away performance, as both teams have vastly different results in front of their respective crowds.
Team analysis: Stoke
The home team is currently positioned 17th, accumulating 50 points from 12 wins, 14 draws, and 18 losses. In their penultimate match, they triumphed at home against Sheffield Wednesday with a scoreline of (2-0). However, they suffered a heavy defeat in their last outing against Leeds United, losing (6-0). Stoke tends to be stronger at home; over the last 30 matches, they have recorded 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses as visitors, compared to 5 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses at home. Throughout the Championship season, Stoke has claimed 19 points from the last 30 possible, with 5 wins, 4 draws, and only 1 loss in their last 10 home matches. The most frequent scoreline at half-time in home games has been 0-0, occurring in 9 out of 22 fixtures. Their attack has shown consistency, scoring in 7 of the last 10 games in this competition. Out of 44 matches in this tournament, they conceded the first goal 20 times but only managed to equalise twice.
Stoke City come into this match following a heavy loss of 6-0 away at Leeds United. Manager Mark Robins will likely implement a tactical setup of 4-3-3, focusing on quick transitions, particularly down the flanks. Key attacking players such as Jun-Ha Bae, Million Marnhoef, and Ali Al-Hamadi will be responsible for creating threats towards the opposition’s goal. The right flank will be a crucial avenue for attack, with Junior Tchamadeu providing width and support. Unfortunately, for this match, the coach will be without Stevens, Jordan Thompson, and Eric-Junior Bocat, all unavailable due to injury.
Team analysis: Sheff United
With 27 wins, 7 draws, and 10 losses, the away team currently occupies 3rd position in the table with 86 points. In their last fixture, they conceded to Burnley away, losing (2-1), after a home victory against Cardiff City (2-0). Interestingly, Sheff United has been better away than at home recently, with a record of 9 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses from their last 30 matches as visitors, compared to 8 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses at home. In the Championship, they have acquired 18 points from the last 30 available, with 6 wins and 4 losses in their past 10 away matches. The most common half-time score during away games has been 0-0 (8 times in 22 games). While their defence has struggled at times, letting in goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, they have maintained an attack that has scored in 8 of the last 10 games for this competition. From 44 matches in this competition, they have only managed to turn around the score in 2 of the 13 games where they conceded first.
Sheffield United will approach this fixture looking to bounce back from their recent defeat of 2-1. On their trip to Burnley’s ground, their sole goal was netted by Tom Cannon. The visiting side tends to line up in a 4-4-2 formation, capitalising on counter-attacks. In this setup, Kieffer Moore and Tom Cannon are likely to form the attacking partnership. However, the visiting manager will be without Rhys Norrington-Davies, Sachdev, Harry Souttar, and Oliver Arblaster due to injuries at this stage.
