During the match day 4 out of 46, Stoke City and West Bromwich Albion will be meeting on Saturday, 30 August on the field of the bet365 Stadium, previously known as the Britannia Stadium, in Stoke-on-Trent. Stoke City will be hosting, and the game will kick off at 12:30 pm BST.
Stoke City finished the previous EFL Championship season in the 18th position in the league table, just a few positions away from the relegation zone. The 2025/2026 season seems to be much more successful for the club so far. They have played three games and won all three of them, currently occupying the leading position in the league table.
West Bromwich found themselves in the ninth position at the end of the 2024/2025 season. While this put them in a safe zone with no threats of relegation, they didn’t qualify for any promotions or play-offs either. Currently, they are staying in the fourth position of the league table with two wins and one draw (1 – 1 against Portsmouth). This qualifies them for the Championship play-offs, however we are still to see where they will stand at the end of the season.
Stoke City vs West Brom – Betting Odds
Betting on various EFL Championship markets started way before the first match of the tournament kicked off. Bookmaking platforms would offer betting odds on markets such as EFL Championship winner and other outrights. As soon as the actual competition began, the betting market grew with it.
Below we will take a look at some of the most popular betting markets for the match between Stoke City vs West Brom and present the current odds 7bet has to offer on these markets.
1X2 Betting Odds
Known on different bookmaking platforms as 1×2, match result, straight win, or 3 way, this is the most straightforward bet and probably also the easiest to understand even if you don’t have a lot of betting experience.
As the most important outcome of any football match is determining the winner, here you are trying to predict this result. And since every football match can have three possible outcomes – the home team wins (1), the away team wins (2), or the match ends in a draw (x) – you can also place your wager on any of the above outcomes. Should you predict the result of the game correctly, your stake will qualify for a payout.
Novice bettors like this bet because it is based on the main principle of football and is not difficult to understand. Seasoned bettors find this bet interesting because it retains all the thrill of the game.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following 1×2 betting odds on the Stoke City vs West Brom match:
| Stoke City F.C. (1) | Draw (x) | West Brom F.C. (2) |
| 10/7 | 7/3 | 12/7 |
Double Chance Odds
If you find the teams on the field to be quite equally powered, you might have a hard time determining how the game will end. To give yourself a better chance at predicting the outcome, you can place a double chance odds bet. Here, instead of choosing only one result, you get to place your wager on two out of the three possible results. Your options for the double chance odds are:
- Either the home team wins or the match ends in a draw (1x)
- Either the home team or the away team wins (12)
- Either the away team wins or the match ends in a draw (x2)
For your bet to win, it is enough for either one of the outcomes you have chosen to take place. Two things for you to keep in mind here are the following: number one, as now you are betting on two outcomes instead of one, your risk goes down; number two, as the risks become lower, so do the odds and the payouts for the winning wagers.
Another thing you should consider before placing this wager is that it is not very useful or reasonable when one of the two competing teams clearly outweighs the other and has better chances of winning.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following double chance betting odds on the Stoke City vs West Brom match:
| Stoke City F.C. or draw (1x) | Stoke City F.C. or West Brom F.C. (12) | Draw or West Brom F.C. (x2) |
| 5/12 | 8/25 | 12/25 |
Draw No Bet Odds
There is really no certain way of telling how a football match will end. So if you think you can predict which team will become the winner but would still like to protect your stake against an unfavourable outcome, you can place a draw no bet wager.
The mechanism behind this betting market works like this: if your team wins, you get a payout; if the opponent team wins, you lose your steak; however if the match ends in a draw, you get your bet’s amount back in full.
This way you can safeguard your bet against at least one of the two unfavourable outcomes. However, similar to the double chance odds, as the risk goes down, so do the odds and potential payouts. If you want to place this wager, make sure that the bookmaking platform of your choice offers it, because sometimes it is not included in the betting markets for a certain match.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following draw no bet betting odds on the Stoke City vs West Brom match:
| Stoke City F.C. (1) | West Brom F.C. (2) |
| 4/5 | 20/21 |
Handicap Betting Odds
Handicap betting odds belong to the advanced group of bets and might take some time to wrap your head around the way they work. They are not necessarily overly complicated, but before you venture into handicap betting, you are strongly advised to have some prior betting experience as well as a good understanding of football. Below we will explain how this can help you.
Handicap bets work best when the teams playing the match are not balanced in their skills and chances to win. Since a match with an obvious favourite and an equally obvious underdog is too predictable, betting loses its main goal, and even just watching the match may be not as exciting. Here is where the handicap bets come in.
The essence of the handicap bets is that the winner must fulfill certain conditions for their win to count toward your wager. These conditions vary depending on the sport, but in football the most popular one is the goal difference. The winning team must win by a number of goals specified by the bookie.
To give you an example, let’s say you place a bet on Team A to win the match with a -1.5 goal handicap. Now it won’t be enough for Team A to win the match for you to get a payout, they need to have two or more goals more than Team B at the end of the game. The good part for you is that you shouldn’t be concerned with the exact score. That two goal difference can come in the form of 2 – 0, 3 – 1, or even 4 – 1, all of them will count toward your wager. Yet, if they win only by one goal (for example, 1 – 0 or 2 – 1), you will lose your wager.
Handicap betting also allows you to bet on the team losing the match. In the exact same way as we described above, they have to lose by a certain number of goals if your wager is to win. For example, if you bet that Team B will lose with +2 handicap, they need to have a difference of one goal (for example, 0 – 1, 2 – 3, or similar) for you to get a payout. If they lose with a higher difference, so will your bet.
Handicap bets can be placed on various parameters of the game. At 7bet, we currently offer the following handicap betting odds on the Stoke City vs West Brom match:
| Stoke City F.C. +0 | West Brom F.C. -0 |
| 4/5 | 20/21 |
Other popular handicap lines include:
| Stoke City F.C. | Draw | West Brom F.C. | |
| Starts 1 – 0 | 5/12 | 7/2 | 19/4 |
| Starts 0 – 1 | 4/1 | 16/5 | 13/25 |
| Starts 0 – 2 | 11/1 | 17/3 | 2/13 |
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
The idea behind the both teams to score betting market is as simple as the name suggests. That is why it is also recommended for novice punters. When placing a wager on this market, you are trying to predict whether both teams will have scored at least once by the end of the match.
You don’t have to predict how many goals exactly the teams will have scored or who is going to win the game, so this also contributes to this betting market being considered a simple one.
This bet is presented in a yes or no format, so depending on how you evaluate the competing teams, you can place a wager on either of the possibilities. Of course, you still need to know enough about the game, the playing teams, their scoring history, current physical form, and force balance.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following both teams to score betting odds on the Stoke City vs West Brom match:
| Yes | No |
| 20/23 | 20/21 |
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
Your knowledge of football and specific teams will determine whether you consider the goal total (otherwise known as over/under) betting market a simple or a difficult one. When placing this bet, you try to predict if the total number of goals scored in this match will add up to be more (over) or less (under) than a number specified by the bookmaker.
Both teams’ goals are counted for the final result, and it doesn’t matter who scored more or who won the match. Neither is it your task to predict these outcomes. If you want to make an informed decision when placing this wager, you need to study the potential and historic record of both teams to score when playing against each other, stay up to date regarding their physical form, and know their overall dynamics.
Let’s illustrate this with an example. You decided to bet that the match between Team A and Team B will end with the total goal count over 2.5. This means that you predict the total sum of all the goals scored in the match to amount to 3 or more. The final score won’t affect your wager, be it 2 – 1, 3 – 0, 1 – 2, or even 2 – 2. However, what will affect it is if the goal total amounts to fewer goals, for example, 1 – 0 (total of 1), 0 – 2 or 1 – 1 (both total of 2).
If you are wondering why bookmakers prefer to present this betting market in decimals, the explanation is actually very simple. The nature of the over/under bet is such that using whole numbers would end up in a massive misunderstanding between the punters and the bookies. Here’s what we mean.
For example, the offered over/under is not 2.5 but 2, and the match ends with exactly two goals scored (2 – 0 or 1 – 1). So whose bet wins here, the ones who bet on over or the ones who bet on under? To avoid such arguments, bookmakers offer the goal total bet in decimals.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following over/under betting odds on the Stoke City vs West Brom match:
| Over 2.5 | Under 2.5 |
| 21/20 | 20/27 |
Correct Score Odds
While the correct score betting market is also very popular, it is not recommended for punters who have only recently entered the world of sports betting. Sure, the bet itself is very straightforward: you are trying to predict the exact score of the match. But the truth is that in order to make this call with any sort of probability, you need to have a deeper understanding both of the betting world and football practices.
Betting on a draw is also possible with the correct score odds, but you still need to predict whether the game will end in 2 – 2, 1 – 1, or a goalless 0 – 0 draw.
Understandably, this betting market implies higher risks. That is why the offered odds and payouts are usually higher than those for the straight win betting market. Needless to say, you need to understand both teams, their historic performance against each other, their recent form, the composition of the current squad, and how they tend to play in the tournament in question.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following correct score betting odds for some of the most popular scorelines on the Stoke City vs West Brom match:
| Stoke City F.C. | West Brom F.C. | Odds |
| 0 | 0 | 8/1 |
| 1 | 0 | 13/2 |
| 0 | 1 | 7/1 |
