Wolves v Stoke City
Wolves have impressed me recentley, they won well against West Ham at Upton Park then followed that up with two good defensive performances against Everton (0-0) and Arsenal (lost 1-0). They sometimes struggle at home because they are very much a team that relies on teams attacking them and then plays on the counter effectively when teams over-commit. The result is often a stalemate when the come up against teams who play more cautiously and don't tend to over-commit. They've had goaless draws against Everton and Liverpool at home and I think that is the most likely result here. Stoke are well known for their tough defense and don't tend to attack a lot away from home. I'd usually take the under2.5 goals option here but the prices is really poor (best priced at 1.67) so I've decided to go for both teams not to score at a better looking price.

Wolves score on average 0.63 goals at home and Stoke score on average 0.60 goals away from home. This shows the lack of attacking threat from each team and I can't see both teams scoring here because if one team takes the lead I expect them to hold onto it for the rest of the game.

Tip:
Both teams to score: No @ 1.83 (PaddyPower)
