Stoke City vs Bristol City Prediction and Betting Tips | October 22, 2024

Stoke City and Bristol City are back in action on Tuesday when they lock horns at the bet365 Stadium in round 11 of the Championship. The Robins lost both home and away against Stoke last season.

Stoke failed to return to winning ways on Saturday, as they were held to a 1-1 draw by a dogged Norwich City side at the bet365 Stadium. Before that, the Potters snapped their four-match winless run on October 2 courtesy of a 6-1 thrashing of Portsmouth, three days before a goalless draw at Swansea City.

With 11 points from 10 games, Stoke are 16th in the Championship, level on points with Luton Town, Sheffield Wednesday and Plymouth Argyle.

Bristol, meanwhile, picked up a positive result on their return from the international break, as they secured a 2-0 victory at Middlesbrough on Saturday. The Robins have gone five matches without defeat, winning two since a 3-0 loss to Blackburn Rovers on September 14.

With 14 points from 10 league games, Bristol are 10th in the league, level on points with ninth-placed Middlesbrough.
