Stoke City take on the visitors Southampton in the round 16 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 14th at Bet365 Stadium (Stoke on Trent).
Stoke City found solid groups after sloppy start of the season and show excellent results in recent matches. 1-3 loss to Arsenal on the road shouldn’t be considered as a failure as it’s hard to compete with the Gunners at their home. It was only second defeat of the Potters in their last ten matches and such positive run of results allowed the team to move up to 11th position in the league with 19 points gained. The team look strong and looks nothing like the side who lost five matches at the start of the season.

Southampton were involved in battles in domestic league, League Cup and Europa League this fall. Such close schedule cost the team few points in the league and a place in playoffs of Eurocup. At the same time, Soton are 10th in the league with 20 points and advanced to the semifinals of League Cup, which gives them a chance for a trophy. The team is solid in defense, allowing only 15 goals in 15 matches. However, the Saints couldn’t win on the road for almost three months since the end of September, taking only two points in four matches.
The visitors have slight advantage in head-to-heads between the teams. However, considering nice conditions of Hughes’ men and ambiguous results Southampton show on the road recently, we can expect the Potters to be closer to three points in upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Stoke City to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
