Southampton vs Stoke Odds

The odds are updated on a frequent basis. You might therefore find that they are different to the ones listed for the above betting predictions.

Southampton Win on the Cards According to the Bookies

For this Championship clash, Southampton are the -149 favourites to triumph according to the latest Full-Time Result betting odds. This reflects that they have a 60% chance of winning. Stoke City are trading at a bigger price than their opponents and the outsiders can be backed at +370.

For those wanting an alternative, Southampton are +128 on the Half-Time Result market. This means they need to lead at the break, with Stoke being priced up at +380 and the draw is +120.

The Over 2.5 / Under 2.5 Goals betting market suggests that there’s not much between the two options. The Both Teams to Score No bet is -130 and it’s ideal if you think at least one side will not score during the ninety minutes.

If you’re betting on Championship matches, we recommend heading to the top football betting sites and scanning through the hundreds of markets. There’s a chance to bet pre-match and In-Play.
