- Southampton leads the historical head-to-head with 36 wins.
- A draw is predicted for the upcoming match between the two sides.

Stoke City is preparing to face Southampton on Saturday as the Championship enters its 30th round of fixtures. The two teams find themselves in contrasting positions in the league standings.
Mark Robins' Stoke City is coming off a recent 1-1 draw at Birmingham, extending their winless run to three matches. They currently sit 10th in the table with 42 points from 29 games.
Meanwhile, Tonda Eckert's Southampton also drew their last match, a 1-1 result at Portsmouth. The Saints are 15th with 37 points from 29 appearances, having secured only one win in their last five contests.
Historically, Southampton holds an edge with 36 wins in 83 encounters, although Stoke has won four of their last eight meetings. Despite Southampton's historical advantage, their recent away form has been poor, and Stoke's home form has also lacked recent success. Consequently, a draw is anticipated for this encounter.
