Stoke City take on the visitors Everton at “bet365 Stadium” in the matchday 31 of the English Premier League. The game will be played in Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday, March 17th.
Stoke City strongly disappoint their fans in this season. The club has stuck in the relegation zone where it is sitting now with 27 points earned after 30 rounds behind. The team’s football philosophy can be described as long balls and set pieces which neglect strong traces of the technic players. Thus, there is no wonder that the team’s offense cannot boast with the great effectiveness, having scored only 28 goals so far, however, the main problem of “The Potters” is their holey defense which has conceded 56 goals already. Still, it should be noted that Stoke City have scored in eight out of 15 home battles.

As for Everton, the great expectations had been bound with “The Toffees” before the start of the season, but they were not justified. At the moment the side occupies the ninth place in the Premier League table with 37 points taken after 30 games played. Everton are the home side in this season as at the home pitch they have picked up 29 out of 37 overall points. The team’s losing run on the road has reached five tackles during which “The Toffees” recorded 14 goals against and only three goals for. Moreover, the team conceded in 13 out of 15 away battles.
Stoke City and Everton swopped by the goals in three out of five latest head-to-heads conducted at the turf of “The Potters”. The hosts must cover their disastrous failure against Manchester City immediately and the upcoming clash is a great opportunity to do that. However, Stoke City will not be able to eliminate their problems in defense which means that they are more likely to concede some goals again.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
