Stoke City and Hull City go head to head at the Bet365 Stadium in an EFL Cup clash. As Mark Robins' men do not seem to be at their sharpest, we predict a 1-0 away win. Stoke City have made a disappointing start to the Championship campaign, losing to both Swansea City and Southampton in their opening two games. The Potters have also struggled for goals, scoring just 0.9 per game across their last 10 matches, while Ampah, Cresswell, and Tchamadeu are all expected to miss out through injury.
Hull City, meanwhile, arrive in excellent form after a stunning 2-0 victory over Manchester United in their Premier League opener. The Tigers have won six of their last 10 matches and conceded only five goals during that run, keeping six clean sheets. Their defensive organisation was particularly impressive against Man Utd, and they should be difficult to break down again. Rotation is expected, with Herrington, McNair, and Millar pushing for starts, while Lewie Coyle is expected to miss out.
As Hull City impressed against Man Utd and have been extremely solid defensively, Away Win should be considered, alongside Man Utd to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 goals (Hull have conceded only 0.5 goals per game in their last 10 matches).
This EFL Cup match will be played on Tuesday 25 August 2026 at 19:45.
