Stoke have lost their previous three Championship matches
Swansea are currently on a two-game winning streak
Recommended bet: Over 2.5 goals
Stoke are currently on their worst run of form this season, losing five of their previous six matches in the second tier.
The club’s only victory during that time came against Charlton at the end of November, but they have sunk to eighth in the table having held a play-off spot before that run.
Swansea, on the other hand, have won two games in a row and have moved up to 18th in the table.
Those wins came against Portsmouth and Oxford and the Swans will be aiming to make it three consecutive wins this weekend.

Team news
Stoke will be without the services of Lewis Baker for the match due to an ankle injury. He is expected back at the end of the month.
Ben Pearson will also be absent and is expected to remain out until the end of the campaign. Ashley Phillips is suspended for the game.
Swansea currently have no new injury concerns and manager Vitor Matos has a full strength squad to choose from ahead of this tricky away clash against Stoke.
The stats
Since the start of the 2011/12 season, a total of 28 games have been played. Stoke have won 14 of these matchups, while the Swans have claimed victory on just eight occasions.
Since the 2018/19 campaign, with both teams back in the second tier, both teams have scored in eight of the 14 games.
Furthermore, over 2.5 goals would have landed in eight of these matches.
In Stoke’s last eight league matches, six have featured over 2.5 goals.
In Swansea’s case, five of their last eight matches have seen over 2.5 goals land.
The home side have scored 26 times in the second tier this season, while Swansea have conceded 27 goals.

Prediction
Despite the teams being at opposite ends of the table, this is certainly a difficult match to predict given their respective recent results.
Stoke will be desperate for a win to maintain their play-off ambitions and end a three-game losing streak.
Swansea, however, are on an upward trajectory after a decent spell recently and will be looking to pile on more misery to the home side.
Given the recent form of both clubs, plus the historical stats when these teams meet, one thing that should be expected is goals.
