Stoke City host Queens Park Rangers in a Championship clash that could prove crucial for both sides. As the two teams seem to be evenly matched, we predict a 1-1 draw. The Potters have been having their ups and downs, with the team averaging 1.30 points per game recently and showing slightly better home performance (1.40 PPG) than away. They’ve scored just 0.80 goals per game overall but have maintained a decent defensive record, conceding 1.10 goals per match. Defender Junior Tchamadeu is doubtful, but Stoke’s defensive unit has been relatively reliable with 40% clean sheets at home.
QPR, on the other hand, head into the match with similar overall form (1.30 PPG), but their results are polarized: strong at home (2.40 PPG) and struggling on the road (0.20 PPG). The Hoops have scored 1.80 goals per game but conceded 1.60, showing some defensive vulnerabilities. Historically, the H2H record is tight, with QPR winning 8 of the last 21 meetings and both sides scoring in 43% of encounters.
Stoke’s low scoring at home limits high-scoring outcomes. Therefore, we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on Under 2.5 goals.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 17 January 2026 at 15:00.
