High-flying Stoke City will meet West Bromwich Albion at the Bet365 Stadium in the EFL Championship on Saturday afternoon. The Potters are the league leaders after three games, while the Baggies are in fourth place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Stoke City have made a dream start to the season, now one of just two sides with a perfect three wins. They have already won a quarter of as many games as they did last season (12).
The Potters beat Southampton with 10 men last weekend, but the big question is whether they can continue in this vein. They sent out a young squad against Bradford in the Carabao Cup in midweek and were hammered 3-0.
Summer signing Sorba Thomas has made a stunning start to life at the Bet365 Stadium, now on five goal involvements (2 goals, 3 assists) in his first three matches for his new employers.
Meanwhile, West Brom missed out on a playoff spot last season but have got off to a very promising start this term, unbeaten after three games with two wins and a draw.
Saturday will be Mikey Johnston’s first anniversary with the Baggies. The Ireland international scored in the 1-1 draw against Portsmouth last week and got a pair of assists against Wrexham a week prior.
The visitors took four points off this opponent in the league last season, including a 2-1 victory at this venue last August.

Our Stoke vs West Brom Prediction
Stoke City have made the most of a somewhat favourable season-opening schedule, and they will be determined to maintain their perfect record heading into the first international break of the campaign.
However, that will be a tough task for the Potters, with West Brom arriving with an unbeaten record this season and having weathered a more challenging opening run of matches. We’re expecting goals at both ends in this one. Our Stoke vs West Brom prediction is both teams to score.
