Stoke City’s 2025/2026 Championship Campaign

Stoke City navigated the 2025/2026 Championship season to finish in 17th place, amassing 55 points from 46 matches. Their record stood at 15 wins, 10 draws, and 21 losses, with a goal tally of 51 scored and 56 conceded, leaving them with a modest goal difference of –5. Home comforts proved more fruitful with 9 wins and 6 draws, while away form was less convincing, yielding only 6 wins and 4 draws.

Defensively, Stoke kept 13 clean sheets in total, split fairly evenly between home and away fixtures. The campaign was a mixed bag, with a tendency to concede just a bit too often, especially on the road, which ultimately hampered their climb up the table. Despite a somewhat leaky defence, the Potters managed to find the net 51 times, with the majority of their goals coming at the Bet365 Stadium.

Looking ahead, Stoke will be keen to tighten their rear guard and convert more draws into wins if they are to push themselves higher up the Championship ladder. Stability and sharper finishing could be the key themes for the next chapter of their league journey.

Stoke City's 2025/2026 Championship Campaign

Stoke City’s season in the Championship was a bit of a mixed bag in 2025/2026. They finished 17th with 55 points from 46 games, showing a somewhat inconsistent pattern. Their record of 15 wins, 10 draws, and 21 losses indicates they dropped points more often through defeats than stalemates.

The team found some comfort at home, winning 9 out of 23 matches there, compared to 6 wins on the road. Interestingly, their defensive performance was balanced both home and away, conceding 28 goals in each setting. Despite this, Stoke’s overall goal difference was a modest -5, reflecting challenges at both ends.

With no notable winning streaks recorded, it seems Stoke’s form lacked any sustained momentum, making for a season of ups and downs rather than a steady climb or nosedive.

Stoke City's Home and Away Form in the 2025/2026 Championship

Stoke City’s home form shows a somewhat balanced but cautious approach—scoring 34 goals and conceding 28, with six clean sheets. This suggests they can protect their turf reasonably well, though the eight home losses hint at inconsistency.

Away from the Britannia (or whatever it’s called now), they’ve been less adventurous in attack, netting only 17 goals, but intriguingly they’ve matched their home goals conceded with 28 and actually kept one more clean sheet away (seven). This could imply a team that’s tighter at the back on the road but struggles to create chances.

Overall, Stoke’s contrasting home and away stats paint a picture of a side better at scoring when comfortable at home but defensively resilient enough away, albeit with fewer wins on the road.

Stoke City's Fipster Record in 2025/2026

Fipster's prediction model is still finding its feet with Stoke City this season. With just a single scored fixture so far, the model has yet to deliver a star or tick prediction for the Potters, registering one miss instead. It's a modest start, showing that the model's insight on Stoke remains a work in progress rather than a crystal ball.

Given Stoke's challenging Championship campaign, sitting 17th with a negative goal difference, perhaps Fipster is wisely cautious before tipping the scales in their favour. Watch this space as the model gathers more data and hopefully sharper predictions.
