Stoke City host Birmingham City at Bet365 Stadium, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire on Saturday, Nov 21 at 4:00 PM in the Championship.
Stoke City come into this fixture in red-hot form (4W from last 5). Birmingham City travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Head-to-head records offer little separation — Stoke City and Birmingham City have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (2W–5D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Stoke City a slight edge, but Birmingham City are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
