These teams come into this with quite a big contrast in form, Stoke are bottom of the form table with just 2 draws from their last 6 just 2 goals scored, which were in a 2-2 draw with inconsistent Wigan. Fulham on the other hand are in good form and moving steadily up the table. They have just 1 defeat in their last 6 but that does include 3 draws.
Fulham are poor on the road though, their collapse at Chelsea wasn't much of a surprise and had gone on a run of road draws before that.
Their away form reads 1-4-4 and in their last 6 road games it reads 0-4-2.
Why i feel this is value is because, at home, Stoke have lost to just Chelsea, Man Utd and a very in form Birmingham. Fulham have lost on the road to the likes of Birmingham and Wolves and failed to record wins at Bolton and Burnley.
Injury wise, Stoke have nothing much to worry about, Sorensen is 50/50 but Fulham have some issues, Johnson is out as well as Paintsil and kamara.
The value is with Stoke to bounceback and gain at least a draw, and i feel we have a 50/50 chance of the home win, throw in a nice price for the pick 'em and this is really good value.
