Stoke v Birmingham predictions
Both teams head into Saturday afternoon’s bout looking to get back to winning ways after falling to their second successive defeat in their final game before the international break a fortnight ago.
Birmingham, despite sitting seven places behind their hosts in the Championship table and being the visitors to the bet365 Stadium this weekend, head into the game as favourites for victory.
Last season’s record breaking League One champions kicked off their first campaign back in the second tier very strongly, with three wins and a draw in their opening four games in all competitions.
A shock defeat at home against League One side Port Vale in the Carabao Cup was followed by a 2-0 defeat at Leicester, inflicting their first league loss of the season and leaves Chris Davies’ side in 10th place with seven points from their four games, only three points off the automatic promotion places.
Meanwhile, Stoke kicked off their campaign with four consecutive wins across all competitions but, like their opponents on Saturday, have slipped to back to back defeats.
Mark Robins’ side were also on the wrong end of a shock in the Carabao Cup, losing 3-0 at home against League One side Bradford, which preceded their 1-0 home defeat against West Brom in the league, their first points dropped in the campaign.
The defeat leaves the Potters third in the Championship table with nine points from their four matches so far and will be desperate to get in the wins column with would be a statement victory over a highly fancied Birmingham side.
Stoke have won only one of their last eight matches against Birmingham, who are unbeaten in their last four trips to the bet365 Stadium, which includes victory in both of their most recent visits.
Two teams with impressive starts to the season have hit a slight stumbling blocks ahead of their duel at the bet365 on Saturday, with both sides eager to get back to winning ways, I envisage them cancelling each other out and perceive a 1-1 draw the most likely result.

Super Sorba to continue hot streak
No player in the Championship has more goal contributions in all competitions than Stoke’s new winger, who has made a huge impression since making the move from Huddersfield in the summer.
The Wales international is joint-top of the assists charts in the second tier with three to his name, to accompany his brace of goals in just four league appearances this season.

Both teams having made such strong starts to the season will be equally desperate to put an end to their current run short of run of consecutive defeats and will likely cancel each other out on Saturday afternoon and have to settle with a share of the spoils.
