    Stoke should control this at home: better attack, stronger form and higher expected goals. Preston sit bottom, injury-hit and poor away, so a Stoke win with goals is most likely.

    Stoke City are the clear lean at home against bottom-placed Preston, who have lost nine of 12 and concede 2.5 goals per away game. Stoke's recent home games and the head-to-head record suggest a somewhat tighter match than the raw goal rates imply.

    Stoke City enter as clear favourites against a struggling Preston side marooned at the bottom of the table. The visitors have conceded 2.5 goals per match away this season and remain winless on their travels, giving Stoke a strong platform to control the tempo and secure three points.
