Matchday 10 in the Championship sees fifth-place Stoke City hosting 18th-place Wrexham on Saturday. Will the Potters be able to maintain their strong early season form or will the Red Dragons claw their way up the table? Check out our match prediction!
After finishing 18th last season, Stoke are off to a positive start in the 2025-26 campaign. They’ve accumulated 15 points from the first nine fixtures, putting them only four points behind leaders Coventry.
However, they’ve failed to get a win in their last four Championship matches. A 1-1 away draw to Blackburn before the international break means that they’ve drawn their last three consecutive outings.
Stoke City will be leaning on their defense record which is the co-best in the league, allowing just six goals in nine league matches so far.
Wrexham, on the other hand, are struggling on the defensive side. They’ve allowed the fourth most in the Championship at 15 which has them just four points above the drop zone.
It was always going to be a difficult task for Wrexham given their rapid rise through the divisions. They’re on a decent run currently with only one defeat in their last nine matches across all competitions. The visitors are on a run of three consecutive 1-1 draws after their most recent stalemate at home with Birmingham.
