Wrexham vs Stoke City Predictions

Wrexham are the best bet to beat Stoke at home on Saturday. The visitors have lost on their last five Championship away games and Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson will be hopeful of getting a result against Mark Robins’ side.

Wrexham are nine places and nine points above Stoke in the table. The hosts, who are seventh with 17 wins from their 42 games this season, have a nine-point lead over the visitors, who are 16th with 15 wins.

The goals have been flowing for Wrexham this season, with an average of 1.82 goals a game in their 11 home games against bottom-half teams.

Stoke have won five of their 24 games as an underdog this season, and backing them in those matches would have resulted in a 7.68-unit loss.

The visitors are in a rut, with Stoke having failed to win any of their last seven Championship away games.

Stoke have been disappointing in front of goal away from home this season, scoring just 17 goals in 21 games – an average of 0.81 goals a game on the road. They have failed to score in four of their last six Championship away games.

They have shown defensive frailties in recent games, failing to keep a clean sheet in 13 of their last 15 Championship matches.

There has been over 2.5 goals in five of Wrexham’s last seven Championship matches, and with 11 of their 17 victories this season coming by a one-goal margin, they may be able to edge out Stoke in a close game. A 2-1 home win is the correct-score pick.
