    Stoke City Team Overview

    The away team played their last official match on as part of the Championship tournament (home team - Hull City, away - Stoke City). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:1.

    Here are the match stats (Stoke City vs Hull City):

    • ball possession: 48% vs 52%;
    • corner kicks: 6 vs 6;
    • fouls: 13 vs 13;
    • yellow cards: 2 vs 3;
    • shots on target: 6 vs 1.

    Stoke City are currently positioned ninth with 11 wins after 25 matches. However, their current form is far from impressive: just two victories in the last five games highlight their inconsistency. With an average of only 0.9 goals per game, the Potters are clearly struggling offensively. Not long ago, they were among the league leaders, but have since fallen out of the playoff zone.
