Out: Bodde
Doubts: Agustien, Allen, Tate
It was pretty hard for Stoke to oppose the good home form of Fulham and their lost another battle making their non- winning streak in Premer League very long. They are close to convert themselves from a typical mediocre side with decent home records to a team involved in the bottom fights. They are the best pretenders for that with their dropping performance. However, every club has its up and down moves. The Potters could rely on many first choice players, who are rested and didn’t travel to Valencia in the midweek Europa League fixture. They play with opposite style than the visitors and will try to prevail as usual in the strong physical duels, but we believe there is something more needed to outplay Swansea- pressure to their midfielders and the well known insistent of Stoke.
The Welsh side was smartly defeated by Norwich in the last Premiership week. The brilliant passing style wasn’t the best weapon in the novices’ clash after the Lambert’s men had discovered a remedy for that. We can not say that Swansea played worse than usual after the good movements by Sinclear and Dyer on the flanks and the decisive touch of Graham. If their play works at Britannia, the hosts would have big problems with their slow defenders. The game is hard to be predicted and we could give a slight advantage to the hosts, because of the not convincing Swansea on the road.
Tip: Stoke -0.25 Odds: 1.85 Stake: 7/10
