Match Preview

At the Bet365 Stadium, Stoke City will face Leicester City in a Championship clash on February 21, 2026.

Stoke City, positioned 14th in the standings with 43 points, will take on 22nd-placed Leicester City, who have accumulated 32 points.

Stoke City has suffered losses in 67% of their last 6 matches, while Leicester City has struggled with a 50% loss rate in their recent 6 away games.

In their head-to-head history in the Championship, Stoke City has lost 3 out of their last 6 encounters against Leicester City.

The prediction for this match is Over 2.5 goals scored.

Bae Jun-Ho's first-half opener counted for nothing last weekend as Stoke were knocked out of the FA Cup by Premier League side Fulham. In the league, the Potters have slipped to 14th in the standings and are looking to end a six-game winless run.

Fortunately for the hosts, their visitors are in even worse shape. Leicester head into gameweek 33 in the relegation zone after losing four consecutive Championship fixtures, peaking with a 4-3 home defeat against Sheffield United after taking a 3-0 lead.
