Stoke City and Portsmouth go head to head in a mid-table Championship clash between two sides with little pressure. Therefore, our prediction leans toward a high-scoring 2-2 draw. The Potters come into this fixture on a four-game winless run, having lost 3-1 to Millwall in midweek. Their form is poor overall, averaging just 0.80 points per game. At home they are much more competitive (1.60 PPG), scoring 2.00 goals per match, but their away form is disastrous with no wins and only 0.40 goals scored per game. Defensively they remain shaky, conceding 1.90 per match, and rotation is expected with Sam Gallagher and Lamine Cisse pushing for starts.
Portsmouth arrive low on confidence after a heavy 5-1 defeat to Coventry, but their overall form is slightly better with 1.20 points per game. The Pompey score 1.10 goals per match but concede 1.80, and away from home their defensive issues are clear (2.60 conceded per game). The good news is there are no fresh injury concerns, meaning they can field a stable XI as they look to recover from their recent setback.
As both teams concede heavily (1.90 and 1.80 per game) and H2H meetings are often open (78% over 2.5), we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals (small stake).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 25 April 2026 at 15:00.
