Stoke City, Recent FormStoke City were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 0-0 draw against Coventry City. Their share of possession in that meeting was 60%, while racking up 6 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Coventry City, who had 13 shots on goal with 2 on target.
They have a modest amount of points to show from their last 6 games, in spite of only conceding 3 goals, because they have failed to be as predictable in their scoring at the other end despite a reasonable 5 goals. They're currenlty on a run of 4 consecutive clean sheets, but this season they have failed to score in 8 of their 16 games played.
They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.
Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Blackburn Rovers players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Preston North End. They achieved 61% possession in that match and had 22 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Preston North End's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Manager Jon Dahl Tomasson will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They've had a good run of form away from home recently, with 3 straight wins in a row.
On an individual basis, Sammie Szmodics is giving Blackburn Rovers' travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 4 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
It was one to forget for Blackburn Rovers last time they met Stoke City in the league, falling to a 3-2 defeat.
In each of the previous 3 matches against Stoke, The Riversiders have let in at least one goal.
