The Potters return to the bet365 Stadium after a 2-0 Carabao Cup win over Oldham, a performance that supplied an early clean sheet and a useful confidence boost. Swansea\u2019s preparation ended with a 1-0 home defeat to Birmingham, leaving them to travel to Staffordshire seeking an immediate response. The market also slightly favours Stoke and that combination of venue, positive recent result and a modest market edge makes Stoke the logical lean.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Under 1.5 goals<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">9\/4<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Under 1.5 goals is a plausible value angle if you expect Stoke\u2019s home edge to produce a controlled, narrow contest. The Potters averaged only 1.1 Championship goals per game last season, while 57 per cent of their league fixtures finished under 2.5 goals. Swansea\u2019s first competitive outing of 2026\/27 was a 1-0 defeat to Birmingham, suggesting their attacking rhythm is still developing. With the campaign only beginning, both sides may favour structure over early risk. A 1-0 Stoke win fits the home selection perfectly and is all this market requires. It is a more selective goals play, but the price compensates for the narrow scoreline needed.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button sq-ptips2-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/sky-bet?q=gb-all-tmp-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer noopener\">Back these tips with Sky Bet \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sq-ptips2__foot wp-block-paragraph\">18+ only.

Home form was their more reliable suit, and the bet365 Stadium remains an awkward place for visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sam Gallagher leads the line with Sorba Thomas, Million Manhoef and Bae Jun-Ho offering creativity from wide and deep. Consistency was the missing ingredient last term, and a winning start would settle any early nerves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-swansea-city-go-into-the-game\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Swansea City go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Swansea finished 11th last season, six places and nine points above Saturday&#8217;s hosts, playing their usual brand of possession football without quite turning control into results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adam Idah and Ross Stewart give them two proven Championship marksmen to call upon, and if the visitors can impose their passing game they are more than capable of frustrating Stoke. Travelling to the Potteries on opening day is rarely straightforward, however.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121234\/fx03_card.jpg\" alt=\"Stoke City vs Swansea City: 2025-26 by the numbers\" class=\"wp-image-1479037\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121234\/fx03_card.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121234\/fx03_card-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121234\/fx03_card-1024x551.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121234\/fx03_card-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121234\/fx03_card-400x215.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121234\/fx03_card-372x200.jpg 372w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121234\/fx03_card-112x60.jpg 112w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121234\/fx03_card-150x81.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12121234\/fx03_card-138x74.jpg 138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-stoke-city-vs-swansea-city-head-to-head\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stoke City vs Swansea City head-to-head<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Home<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Away<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">07\/03\/26<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Swansea City<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2-0<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Stoke City<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">13\/12\/25<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Stoke City<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Swansea City<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">15\/02\/25<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Stoke City<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Swansea City<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">05\/10\/24<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Swansea City<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0-0<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Stoke City<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">10\/04\/24<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Swansea City<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3-0<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Stoke City<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stoke have the better of the overall record, winning five of the last 10 meetings, and they took both recent games at the bet365 Stadium.
