Bristol City head into the final round eager to bounce back from a 2–1 defeat to Birmingham and potentially climb into 11th place. Their recent form has been inconsistent, with just a 20% win rate over the last 10 matches and 0.90 points per game. Defensively, they have struggled, conceding 1.50 goals per match on average, while scoring only 0.90. However, their games tend to be open, producing 2.40 total goals per game, and their expected goals against stands high at 1.72.
Stoke City arrive in even worse shape, losing their last three matches and failing to win any of their last four away games. Their away form is particularly concerning, with a 0% win rate, just 0.25 goals scored per match, and 75% of games without scoring. Injuries continue to pile up, further weakening an already fragile squad that concedes 2.00 goals per game overall.
Given Stoke City's poor form in the season finale, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals as both sides will be with guards down in Saturday's encounter.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 2 May 2026 at 12:30.
