Stoke City vs West Brom Prediction
Stoke City's draw with fellow relegation strugglers Huddersfield Town took them one step towards safety. The Potters are now five points above the dropzone and have lost just one of their last four league games. Furthermore, they have won two of the last three head-to-head games here (one loss).
West Brom are too far off automatic promotion but the Hawthorns outfit are almost guaranteed a spot in the playoffs as they chase promotion to the Premier League after three years away.
Carlos Corberan's side are unbeaten in their last eight league games (four wins) and we are backing this run to continue in a low-scoring stalemate.
