St. Mary’s Stadium will be the centre of attention when Southampton and Stoke City face each other in Championship round two. The Saints suffered a 2-1 defeat to Watford on the opening day despite dominating the contest with 1.71 xG and 17 goal attempts. Summer signing Kyle Larin scored his first goal for the club and will be hoping to build on that promising debut. Southampton have been in excellent overall form, winning six of their last 10 matches, and there are no fresh injury concerns.
Stoke City, meanwhile, made a disappointing start, losing 2-1 to Swansea City. The Potters have struggled for consistency recently, winning only three of their last 10 matches and averaging just 0.90 goals per game during that period. Ampah, Cresswell, and Tchamadeu are all ruled out through injury.
Southampton impressed despite losing their opener and should have enough quality at home. Therefore, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Southampton Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Southampton average 2.00 goals per game at home across their recent matches).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at 15:00.
