Stoke has shown some improvement this season. Their recent wins against Hull City and Swansea helped them move 6 points above the relegation zone.
However, their struggles in away matches continued last Saturday when they conceded to a 4-2 defeat against Norwich. The Potters have now won only one of their last eight away league games.
On a more positive note, they remain unbeaten in their last four matches at the bet365 Stadium and will be aiming to keep this unbeaten run going for the first time this season.

Middlesbrough ended to a tough run against Stoke in September, having previously lost three consecutive games to them.
That victory in the reverse fixture gave them the points they needed to move ahead of their upcoming opponents in the Championship standings.
Middlesbrough will be looking to complete a league double over Stoke for the first time since 2020, but more importantly, they are eager to secure a win to qualify for the playoffs.
MatchPlug Prediction Stoke VS Middlesbrough
Stoke has been strong at home, going four games unbeaten at the bet365 Stadium. However, they have struggled to secure the same record on the road.
Middlesbrough’s poor form in the championship is slowly diminishing their playoff hopes, so they badly need to win this fixture.
Our prediction for Monday’s clash is a close game with Middlesbrough ending as the victors.
Final Prediction: Middlesbrough Over/Under
