Stoke City can make themselves practically safe with victory over the hapless Middlesbrough, Boro sacked manager Jonathan Woodgate this week and have hired the evergreen Neil Warnock as his replacement, it is very difficult for Warnock to come in in just a few days and change the team or improve it in any way and I think this is a good time to play Boro. Stoke City have James McClean back fit and he came on in the 1-1 draw at Reading last weekend and also back after injury was central defender Ryan Shawcross. I don’t think we will see many goals today but I can’t help but feel Stoke are the bet -0.25 if I could get 1.83 or better on the under 2.25 I’d bet that too but not betting under 2 as the goal line so happy just to rely on Stoke City -0.25.
