A Championship clash between two sides separated by just 2 places in the table. Wolves (1st, 1 pts) and Stoke City (3rd, 0 pts) both have plenty to play for.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Wolves create chances worth 1.0 a game (and give up chances worth 1.7), leaving them -0.6 a game on the balance. Stoke City create 1.5 (giving up 1.7) for a balance of -0.2. On the quality of chances, Stoke City look the stronger side. they create more and give up less.
Wolves average 2.0 goals per game and Stoke City manage 0.8. Combined that's just 2.8. We make it only 35% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 48%.
The stakes are high for Wolves at this stage of the season. Their fans will expect a performance, and the home support will be vocal in driving them on. Stoke City face a tough afternoon.
This has title race implications written all over it. Wolves sit 1st while Stoke City are 3rd. Three points here could prove decisive come May.
Wolves are all-out attack: 2.0 goals a game, but they leak 2.0 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Stoke City, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at.
Most likely scorelines: 1-1 (9%) and 1-0 (7%).
