Best Tip: Southampton to win

Studying the bookies' odds and collated statistics regarding both sides ahead of this Championship clash, a bet on win / draw / win for Southampton to win in front of their own fans is the way we would recommend bettors go. We predict they'll have too much for Stoke, and head-to-head (H2H) records show they have the pedigree to do so. It may not all be plain sailing, but Southampton winning is the bet come Saturday afternoon.

Goal Statistics

Stoke City have been abject at the back of late, conceding 2 or more goals in 5 consecutive Championship games. This run could continue, with Southampton's PG an impressive 2.0.

Goals have been an issue for Stoke City of late. It has been 7 Championship matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.0 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Saturday afternoon against Southampton.
