Having taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 away win over Wigan Athletic in their last league game, Stoke City will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 13 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Wigan Athletic, who had 11 shots on goal with 1 on target.
Manager Alex Neil will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. Consistency in front of goal has been a problem for them at home recently, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games.
They've had a terrible run of form at Bet365 Stadium recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win.

A point gained from their 0-0 draw against Millwall in their previous encounter will not be considered a bad outcome for Birmingham City. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 0 hitting the target, up against Millwall's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
9 goals in 6 matches haven't proved quite enough for them in terms of a return in points, and that's despite having only conceded 3 goals in those 6 games, which shows a pretty solid defensive line. Up front, they have been showing a certain level of consistency in breaching their opponents' defences, with goals netted in 5 of their last 6 outings. With 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, they are proving that they are not easy to defeat.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included.
The Birmingham City travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Scott Hogan, who's scored 4 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
Stoke City vs. Birmingham City Head to head
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Playing at home, Stoke have scored in 3 of their last 3 league games against Birmingham.
When playing away from home in the league, Birmingham have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Stoke, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
Birmingham man Lukas Jutkiewicz will be confident about extending his scoring record against Stoke, having hit the netting 3 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
With only Gavin Kilkenny (Groin) and Harry Souttar (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Alex Neil will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
