Stoke City
Portsmouth welcome Stoke City to Fratton Park for a 12.30pm kick-off on Saturday, with the unbeaten hosts looking to knock over one of the Championship‘s promotion front-runners.
Our Portsmouth vs Stoke City predictions and betting tips make this a genuinely tricky one to call. Pompey are 10th in the Championship and unbeaten in five, but Stoke arrive third and very much in the hunt for an immediate return to the Premier League. Fratton Park should be bouncing for the early kick-off, and both these sides carry a goal threat.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects goals and a lively Fratton Park atmosphere, and has paired a corners selection with a home win in a game where both sides score.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Portsmouth to have the most corners | 10/11 (bet365) | Portsmouth tend to set the tempo at home, where they have won four of seven and scored 13 goals, and a noisy Fratton Park crowd usually drags them onto the front foot early. Stoke have been content to soak up pressure and spring forward on their travels, which should hand the hosts the territory and the lion’s share of the set-pieces. At around evens, Pompey to win the corner count makes plenty of sense. |
| Portsmouth to win and both teams to score | 17/4 (Betway) | Portsmouth are unbeaten in six league games and have won four of their seven at Fratton Park, scoring 13 goals there. They have also conceded 11 at home, and both teams have scored in five of those seven games. Stoke arrive unbeaten in four and have found the net in 13 of their 14 league games, so a home win is unlikely to come with a clean sheet. Pompey’s longer unbeaten run tips the balance, and 17/4 with Betway fits our 2-1 call. |

How Portsmouth go into the game
Portsmouth come into the weekend 10th in the Championship on 22 points and unbeaten in their last five, a run of three wins and two draws. They beat Swansea City 3-1 at home last time out.
The signs at home are encouraging, with four wins from seven and 13 goals scored on their own patch, though they have shipped 11 there too. Draws at Wolverhampton Wanderers and Burnley, plus a 1-0 win at Norwich City, show they can mix it on the road as well, and confidence is clearly high.
How Stoke City go into the game
Stoke City sit third on 26 points, firmly in the promotion picture, and arrive in good heart after a 2-1 win at Blackburn Rovers last time out.
The Potters have been excellent on their travels, winning four of seven away games, including a 1-0 success at Derby County. The one slight concern is at the back, where they have conceded 11 goals on the road, so this trip to an in-form Portsmouth side will test their resolve.
Portsmouth vs Stoke City head-to-head
| Date | Home | Score | Away |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25/04/26 | Stoke City | 1-3 | Portsmouth |
| 25/10/25 | Portsmouth | 0-1 | Stoke City |
| 22/01/25 | Portsmouth | 3-1 | Stoke City |
| 02/10/24 | Stoke City | 6-1 | Portsmouth |
These two have not met too often in recent years, but when they have, the goals have flowed. The last four league meetings have produced 16 goals between them, including a thumping 6-1 win for Stoke in October 2024 and a 3-1 Portsmouth success on their most recent trip to the bet365 Stadium.

Portsmouth vs Stoke City score prediction
This has the look of an entertaining, open contest between two sides who want to attack. Stoke’s quality means they will carry a threat, but Portsmouth’s home form and the lift of a packed Fratton Park for the early kick-off could just prove decisive. Score prediction: Portsmouth 2-1 Stoke City.
