Southampton lost 2-1 at Watford on the opening weekend, but still produced 17 shots and 1.71 xG. The defeat did not fully reflect their attacking level. Back at St Mary’s, Saints should have greater control. In 2025/26, Southampton finished fourth in the Championship with 80 points, scoring 82 and conceding 56. Their home record was strong: 12 wins, 8 draws and only 3 defeats in 23 matches. Stoke finished only 17th with 55 points and a -5 goal difference. More worrying, they managed just 6 wins, 4 draws and 13 defeats away from home last season. They also lost 2-1 to Swansea in their 2026/27 opener. Recent H2H results are not one-sided: Stoke won 2-1 at St Mary’s in August 2025, but Southampton answered with a 2-0 win at Stoke in January 2026. Their late-season form was also clearly stronger.
