Stoke vs Southampton Prediction

Stoke Form

Stoke suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches, as they were run over by Hull in a 1-3 defeat. Bournemouth also proved too hard to handle, as they won 2-0, before Stoke were able to strike back last time out in a 2-3 win against Bristol City. Stoke only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Championship matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew zero and lost four, as they scored six and conceded eight goals.

Southampton Form

In their last three matches, Southampton lost against Ipswich and Middlesbrough by 0-1 and 2-1, respectively, and beat Leeds by 3-1. In their last six Championship away matches, Southampton have three wins, they've drawn zero and lost one three. They scored nine while also conceding 12 times. They also experienced zero draws and three defeats.

It seems both Southampton and Stoke have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues this coming Tuesday, and we are rooting for goals.

Southampton recorded two wins from their last three games against teams placed in the bottom six and collected six points. They scored five goals while conceding four. Stoke so far pulled off a record of three wins, one draw and five defeats in the Championship this season. Southampton have a record of four wins, one draw and four defeats in the Championship.
