by Steve Ashfield in Championship Predictions
Stoke City slipped down to eighth in the Championship after their midweek loss at Ipswich Town. They will try to get back into winning ways when hosting 18th-placed Swansea City on Saturday. Read our match prediction below.
The Potters have been in the top six all season but the 1-0 loss at Ipswich was their third successive league defeat. It's been a tough fixture schedule though with the other losses being inflicted by Hull City (now sixth in the table) and leaders Coventry City.
Stoke are only a point behind the play-off positions and defended well against Ipswich who are up to fourth in the Championship. Home form has seen them win five of their nine league games this season with three defeats.
Swansea City have won their last two games against Oxford United and most recently, Portsmouth. The Swans are now six points above the relegation zone but seven behind Stoke. Both those wins were achieved on home soil and against sides in the bottom four.
Before those victories, Swansea had lost five successive games. On the road this season, they have had a couple of away league wins but been beaten in five matches. Only eight away league goals have been scored by the Welsh club.
We tip Stoke to win.

Our Stoke vs Swansea Prediction
Stoke City have suffered three successive league defeats but all against sides now in the top six. It wasn't too bad a performance at Ipswich in midweek and they will find this home game against Swansea a good chance to earn three points.
Swansea have won their last two games but at home against teams battling relegation. This is going to be tougher and their away form is not that impressive with only two wins and eight goals scored. Our Stoke v Swansea prediction is Stoke wins.
