Match Facts
Southampton won 2-0 away against Stoke in their most recent league meeting in January but haven’t won back-to-back league games against the Potters since October 2006 (3 in a row).
Stoke City are unbeaten in each of their last five away league games against Stoke City (W4 D1); among 2026-27 Championship opponents, the Potters are only on a longer unbeaten streak away to West Ham United (6).
Southampton have won their first home game in just one of their last 14 league campaigns (D8 L5 since 2012-13), though it did come last season, scoring twice in the 90th minute+ to beat Wrexham 2-1.
Stoke City lost each of their final seven away league games last season, last having a longer losing streak on the road in the Football League between August and November 2003 under Tony Pulis (8).
After losing to Swansea on MD1, Stoke will be looking to avoid losing their opening two games of a league campaign for just the third time this century, after 2010-11 and 2019-20.
