Where the money is
How much money is actually on each selection, next to what the price says it should be. A gap is not a tip — it just means the crowd and the book disagree.

**Stoke's rolling, and Bristol City's leaking goals at home — this feels like a Potters opportunity.** The hosts are on a **four-win streak** while City have dropped points in back-to-back home defeats. 🔴
Form tells the story: Stoke are sharp and dangerous in attack; Bristol City's defensive frailty — especially at Ashton Gate — is a genuine problem. That H2H leans Bristol's way overall, but momentum matters more in the Championship right now.
Key storylines:
- **Stoke's attacking trio** of **B. Jun-Ho**, **L. Cissé**, and **M. Manhoef** will hunt space against a leaky Bristol backline
- **Bristol City's home woes** continue with back-to-back 0-1 losses; **S. Twine** and crew need an outlet or it could get ugly
- **Midfield battle**: **J. McGlynn** and **E. Galbraith** anchor Stoke's press; can they smother **J. Knight** and **A. Randell**?
Expected lineups:
- **Stoke City**: V. Johansson, L. Graham, B. Wilmot, B. Lawal, B. Johnson, J. McGlynn, E. Galbraith, D. Soumaré, B. Jun-Ho, L. Cissé, M. Manhoef
- **Bristol City**: S. Tickle, C. Pring, L. N. Eissat, R. Dickie, G. Tanner, J. Knight, A. Randell, R. Cardines, S. Twine, J. Wallace, D. Ballard
Prediction:
**Stoke City 2–0 Bristol City**. Stoke's form and Bristol's home fragility point to a comfortable away-day scalp. 📋
