Stoke have been a hot and cold team for a number of years now which makes them exceptionally tough to predict. The last two head-to-head games between these two have been draws, and Stoke were very strong at home at the back end of last season - and in their first home game this season. It is, though, hard to back them confidently against one of the league's better sides given how inconsistent they are.
Baggies striker Josh Maja was quiet at the weekend but bagged a hat-trick on the opening weekend so he'll be looking to get back on the scoresheet here. Stoke midfielder Josh Laurent has both committed the most fouls (4) in the Stoke side and picked up the most bookings (2) in the first two league games, so he feels a good shout for a booking.
Ultimately, with this game taking place on Stoke's home turf, we think this game is a good bet for a draw. Stoke have been tricky to beat at home since Steven Schumacher took charge of the team but West Brom are tough to beat altogether, so a share of the spoils looks on the cards in our eyes. Stoke 1-1 West Brom.
