VS
Bristol City vs Stoke City has produced changing Championship margins rather than a simple hierarchy. Stoke City won 5-1 on 1 November 2025, but Bristol City answered with a 2-0 result on 2 May 2026 after another 2-0 win in February 2025. Earlier Stoke victories of 4-0 and 3-2, together with a 2-2 draw, keep the comparison open and give each meeting a different edge.

Stats for this game
Matchup Bristol City VS Stoke City
Large margins alternate
The Championship meetings have moved sharply between the two clubs. Stoke City won 3-2 at Bristol City on 30 September 2023 and 4-0 on 4 May 2024, while the clubs drew 2-2 on 22 October. Bristol City then won 2-0 on 12 February 2025, before Stoke City answered with a 5-1 victory on 1 November. Bristol City replied again with a 2-0 result on 2 May 2026. The sequence gives neither side a fixed direction: decisive scores have changed hands.
A balance without a settled script
The 5-1 and 4-0 results create clear separation on individual occasions, while Bristol City’s 2-0 results and the 2-2 draw keep the wider comparison open. Those dated scorelines support a history of reversals rather than a permanent hierarchy. Future meetings will ask whether either club can turn one emphatic chapter into a lasting edge or whether Bristol City vs Stoke City produces large margins, close results or shared points.
