A Challenging Match for Narcís Pelach’s Squad

In this ninth round of the EFL Championship, Stoke City visited Swansea City in a match that ended in a 0-0 draw. It was a tough match for both teams, with the standout player being Viktor Johansson. The Swedish goalkeeper continued to shine between the posts, delivering a solid performance in this game.

Throughout the match, there were clear chances, but both teams did everything possible to keep a clean sheet. Narcís Pelach has demonstrated that with hard work, Stoke City can show a better side, and this improvement has been evident in their last two matches.

After a difficult start to the season under Steve Schumacher, which led to his dismissal, the Spanish coach is now working to produce more positive results for Stoke City in the Championship.

Narcís Pelach fielded almost the same starting eleven that played in the 6-1 win over Portsmouth. However, this time, they were not as fortunate in front of goal. Despite starting forwards Tom Cannon and Sam Gallagher, neither player could make a difference, and the game ended scoreless.

Nonetheless, Stoke City showed resilience as visitors, though Swansea City proved to be the more dominant side. Swansea held 64% possession, compared to Stoke City's 36%. Additionally, Swansea City had 19 total shots, while Stoke City managed 10. Despite the dominance of the home team, Stoke City delivered a solid performance and secured a valuable point in what was a challenging away fixture.
