Stoke City desperately need points on Saturday, Nov 21 at 4:00 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Stoke City come into this fixture out of form (0W 2L recently). Birmingham City, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (0W 2D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

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: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Stoke City win or a draw looks most likely.
