Stoke City vs Wrexham Prediction and Betting Tips | October 18th 2025

Stoke City take on Wrexham in the 10th round of games in the Championship on Saturday. The two sides are in opposite halves of the standings.

Mark Robins' Stoke are fresh off a 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers two weeks ago. Following a goalless first half, the Potters opened the scoring at Ewood Park through Million Manhoef four minutes into the second period. However, Augustos Kargbo's 82nd-minute equaliser forced a share of the spoils.

Following a third straight stalemate, Stoke are fifth in the points table, with 15 points from nine games, winning four.

Meanwhile, Phil Parkinson's Wrexham are also coming off a draw in their most recent outing just before the international break, sharing the spoils with Birmingham City at home in a 1-1 stalemate.

The newly promoted side went ahead through a George Dobson strike inside 13 minutes, but Birmingham fought back with Patrick Roberts' equaliser just a minute into the second period.

Interestingly, like Stoke, Wrexham have also drawn their last three games but are a lowly 18th in the standings, with 10 points from nine games, winning two.

On that note, here's a look at the head-to-head stats and key numbers, match prediction, and betting tips for the Stoke-Wrexham Championship skirmish at the Bet365 Stadium:
