Stats for this game
Matchup Derby VS Stoke City
Results have moved between the clubs
Stoke City’s 3–1 win on 9 August 2025 gave them a clear margin, but Derby answered with 2–0 on 6 April 2026. The 0–0 draw on 3 May 2025 adds a different shape, showing that the matchup can remain level between decisive results. Derby’s 2–1 win on 30 December 2021 and Stoke City’s 2–1 result on 2 November 2024 reinforce the alternating line. The 0–0 result keeps that exchange from becoming a simple sequence of victories by one club.
The league balance stays open
Derby won 3–0 in a club friendly on 22 July 2023, but that setting is secondary to the Championship scorelines. It can add context without changing how the league comparison should be read. The enduring question is whether either club can turn an individual win into a lasting direction, or whether Derby and Stoke City continue to exchange clear margins and level outcomes.
