Stoke City welcome Southampton in what could be a tight Championship encounter, with 1-1 our predicted outcome. The Potters have been solid recently, earning 1.50 points per game, with home form at 1.33. However, injuries are a concern with Baker, Bozenik, Johansson, and Tchamadeu all sidelined. Mark Robins' men score 0.90 goals per game and concede just 0.70, keeping clean sheets in 50% of matches.
Southampton travel to Stoke-On-Trent with a fully fit squad after a 1-1 draw with Portsmouth. They average 2.50 goals per game but have struggled on the road, scoring 1.17 while conceding 2.00, and keeping 0% clean sheets away from home. Both teams have scored in 83% of Southampton’s away matches. The Saints boss Tonda Eckert has a full squad to choose from.
H2H history shows a balanced rivalry: 6 wins each and 6 draws in 17 matches. Considering that Stoke’s strong defense could limit the scoring, we are tempted to place our bets on Under 2.5 goals. Additionally, Draw and Half-Time Draw bets are worth considering.
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 31 January 2026 at 12:30.
