Always tricky at this stage of the Europa Cup to know how to bet and the strong recommendation is to puntinplay once the formation has been seen and the form can be evaluated. For the ITV clash this evening Stoke fly to the Ukraine to take on Dynamo Kiev.
Kiev are often playing in a higher grade at this stage of the season and last year were involved in the Champions League. They are on great form and have won their last six games. Scoring 13 and only conceding 2. However they are taking on a Stoke side that are in equally good form in a higher grade. They have won four out of their last six games across all competitions and have only conceded one Premier League goal so far (away to Norwich) and only two in eight competitive matches this season.
Pulis will relish the European opportunity but will be aware of the priorities for the season. Go for a low scoring draw.
