Stoke will look to extend their winning start to the season when they travel to crisis-hit Sheffield Wednesday in a matchday two fixture of the 2025-26 Championship campaign. This match on Saturday at Hillsborough comes with our prediction of a win for the Potters over the hosting Owls, with both teams scoring goals.
Wednesday started their league campaign with a 2-1 away loss at Leicester on matchday one. Stoke had a better outing, winning 3-1 at home against Derby.
The Owls continue to struggle off the field but received a boost on the field in the midweek with a win over Bolton via penalties in the EFL Cup first round.
That ended a four-game wait for a win, including friendlies (D2, L2), after a 2-1 losing start at Leicester on matchday one. They did go ahead early against the Foxes, but a 76th-minute red card to Barry Bannan saw them concede an 87th-minute winner and lose the game.
Stoke needed penalties to brush past Walsall in their midweek cup game, after the match ended 0-0 during regular time. The Potters have thus extended their unbeaten run to five matches (W3, D2) during regular time.
That included the 3-1 win at home against Derby, a victory that was achieved due to two goals scored in the stoppage time.

Our Sheffield Wednesday vs Stoke Prediction
The crisis-hit Sheffield Wednesday got a big boost in the midweek, proceeding to the second round of the EFL Cup by defeating Bolton via penalties. To go with that, there was welcoming news of a few loan signings arriving from Manchester United, boosting their squad numbers. Till the time it happens, their struggles are real, and that gives a chance for Stoke to continue their impressive start to the season.
Stoke are in with a great chance here, although they may end up conceding, which is why our Sheffield Wednesday vs Stoke prediction is Stoke to win and BTTS.
