Southampton vs Stoke City Prediction (29.10.2024)

Southampton lost only 0:1 as a guest to Manchester City over the weekend. However, this does not change the fact that they continue to be winless in the Premier League with only one point, which was earned in the 1:1 draw at home against Ipswich. We will see what they will do now in the cup, where they eliminated Everton on penalties in the last round and drew 1:1 in regular time.

Stoke City is currently in 19th place in the Championship, where they lost 0:2 on their visit to Sheffield United over the weekend. This was another poor away result for the team. As a guest in the league, they have only scored one goal so far and have failed to score in four out of their five visits. In August, they exploded with a 5:0 win away to Middlesbrough in the cup tournament, but that is unlikely to be repeated.

Southampton needs to tighten up in the Premier League and we will see what they will do in the cup. However, I will focus on a not very high-scoring match, which is not new, especially for Stoke's away games. Last season, the two teams exchanged minimal victories with 1:0 in the Championship, and under 3.5 goals have been the outcome in their last 9 meetings.
