Stoke vs Brentford Prediction & Betting tips
With Brentford, Stoke welcomes the team of the hour in the championship. The guests have rushed from victory to victory since the restart. Their balance sheet is all the more impressive when you look at the names of the teams that were beaten. Right from the start, with Fulham and West Brom, direct competitors for the promotion were defeated.
In the meantime, the series of triumphs comprises an impressive eight rounds! Against this background, the dream of going to the Premier League is more alive in these days than in a long time.
Instead, the home side has to deal with the worst-case scenario of relegation to League One. The meager 16th place in the previous year was not a slip, although the relegation after the last day of play is now becoming more concrete.
For the match between Stoke and Brentford, the tip includes an away win. More preliminary reports and forecasts for games in the league are available in the clear and extensive page area of the England Football Tips.
Stoke:
The combination of miserable defense and an at best average attack led to the poor situation in Stoke. The latter assessment can be seen, among other things, from the fact that the offensive has not hit in 16 league games already – record value in the championship.
On the other hand, the fact that a home game is pending can be encouraging. While the two-time FA Trophy winner takes the inglorious title of the weakest away team in the championship, things are going better on their own territory. The team from Stoke-on-Trent has around twice as much points in their home games.
Even the exclusion of the fans did little to change the home advantage of coach Michael O’Neill’s team: Although the first game at Britannia Stadium was lost after the end of the season suspension against Middlesbrough, clear victories against Barnsley and Birmingham have been recorded again – each time Zero.
Brentford:
In the last match before the break of the season, Brentford had an impressive 5-0 win against Sheffield Wednesday after a losing streak of five games without a win. This increase in shape was well preserved until the restart. Since then, no less than seven threes have followed!
Bees squint to second place
Thanks to this very successful phase, only third place was conquered by Fulham and now even the direct ascent has come within reach. If the jump to the upper house works, it would be a return after 73 years! One factor for the current success is undoubtedly Mohamed Benrahma in the attack.
The Algerian is currently unstoppable. Since the restart, the 24-year-old has scored in four of the seven games. He even did a hat-trick against Wigan recently and a two-pack on the penultimate matchday when he won against Derby County.
The Danish coach Thomas Frank can also fall back on Ollie Watkins, the current top scorer of the championship, and with the French U-21 international Bryan Mbeumo on top, another dangerous player in the squad who already directly or indirectly participates in 22 goals from his team was.
A better positioned offensive cannot be found in the British House of Commons. This can be seen from the fact that the “Bees” have the best yield with 79 goals and have an average value of just over two goals per game after the end of the break.
