Stats for this game
Matchup Southampton VS Stoke City
Southampton have the stronger league direction
Southampton beat Stoke City 3-1 at home on 22 August 2026 and 2-0 away on 31 January 2026. They also won 1-0 at Stoke City on 3 October 2023. These Championship results give Southampton wins in both settings and a range of margins, but they do not erase Stoke City’s responses. The direction favours Southampton, while the two Stoke victories keep the league comparison competitive.
Stoke City provide clear counterpoints
Stoke City won 2-1 at Southampton on 23 August 2025 and 1-0 there on 27 April 2024. Southampton’s 3-2 League Cup win at home on 29 October 2024 adds another result, but the knockout competition should remain secondary to the league balance. Stoke City therefore have two away wins to answer Southampton’s Championship results. A future league meeting can show whether either club creates a new margin or the comparison returns to a close contest.
