Stoke City vs Everton Prediction 28 July 2026

Details
The main thing

    🔊 English clubs are deep into pre-season. Stoke City and Everton arrive at this friendly in very different shape. The hosts still can't find their footing despite the extended break, while Everton look set to build their new campaign around defensive solidity, enough, perhaps, to push for a European spot.

    Head-to-Head

    📊 The two sides haven't met in a competitive match since 2018, when Stoke City were relegated from the Premier League. They did play a friendly in 2023, which Everton won 1-0.

    Stoke City Team Overview

    Stoke City's last friendly was against Crewe Alexandra on , ending 1:1. Here's how the stats looked (Stoke City vs Crewe Alexandra):

    • possession: 50% vs 50%;
    • corners: 6 vs 1;
    • fouls: 13 vs 3;
    • yellow cards: 1 vs 0;
    • shots on target: 9 vs 3.
    Stoke City ended last season's Championship campaign with six matches without a win, failing to score in half of those games. The trend has carried into the summer: two matches, zero wins, just one goal scored. The attack isn't clicking, though the defence has at least been reasonably solid. Particularly against top-flight opposition - last season they pushed Fulham close before losing 2-1 in the FA Cup, and in pre-season they gave Burnley (1:0), Wolves (1:1) and Brighton (1:3) a proper game.

    Everton Team Overview

    Everton's last friendly was against Bolton on , ending 0-0. Here's how the stats looked (Everton vs Bolton):

    • possession: 50% vs 50%;
    • corners: 3 vs 5;
    • fouls: 10 vs 7;
    • yellow cards: 0 vs 1;
    • shots on target: 5 vs 3.
    If anyone's defence is clicking right now, it's Everton. The Toffees clearly took note of their collapse at the end of last season, when they went seven matches without a win and conceded in each one. Yes, the summer opposition wasn't exactly top-drawer, but it's hard to judge them too harshly at this point. What we have is 180 minutes without conceding, even though opponents managed 19 shots across two games, five of them on target.

    ⭐️ Editor's Prediction

    Two teams who both care more about keeping things tight at the back. Stoke City are desperate to end their winless run. Everton have no reason to push, they're happy to keep the ball and work on their defensive shape. In 11 of Stoke City's last 12 friendly matches, no more than three goals were scored. The bet here is total goals under 3.

    Total goals Under (3)
