Head-to-head statistics Stoke City - Swansea
Stoke City Team Overview
The Potters are heading into the new season off the back of a decent pre-season, losing just 1 of their 4 matches. They also beat Oldham (2:0) in the League Cup. Mark Robins has stayed in charge despite a seven-match winless run at the end of last campaign, which saw the club slide down to 17th place.
Summer signings, including goalkeeper Josh Griffiths from West Brom and midfielder Djibril Soumaré from Braga, should strengthen the squad. But the main talking point is the transfer of Ethan Galbraith from Swansea for a fee of nearly €12 million. He could feature against his former club.

Swansea City Team Overview
The Swans begin the season with high expectations following significant investment. The team showed potential in pre-season, beating Leganés (1:0) and Udinese (2:0), but a defeat to Bochum (0:2) and a first-round League Cup exit to Birmingham (0:1) have left questions over Vitor Matos's work.
The injury situation among the visitors is critical. Defender Cameron Burgess ruptured his Achilles in the League Cup match and is out for the rest of the season. Midfielder Gonçalo Franco continues his recovery from ankle surgery, while Ross Stewart is a doubt due to a lack of match practice.

⭐ Editor's Pick
Both teams are only just getting into the season, which means we can't fully assess their capabilities, especially against the backdrop of injury problems. So we don't see any point in looking for a favourite. The more logical approach is to go through goals and play the both teams to score (yes) bet, which landed in 5 of the 6 previous head-to-head meetings at Stoke's ground. Predicted score: 1-1.
