Stoke City desperately need points on Saturday, Aug 29 at 1:30 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Wolves come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 1D 0L). Stoke City travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Wolves won their last outing, while Stoke City suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

Despite playing at home, Wolves face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Stoke City have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Wolves clear favorites, but Stoke City have shown they can grind out results. Expect Wolves to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
