Stoke vs Bristol City Odds

7bet offers competitive odds for all Championship matches, including this fixture.

1X2 Odds Betting Odds

This is one of the most popular markets for football betting. Here, bettors have to bet on one out of three possible outcomes of Saturday’s match:

• 1: Home team (Stoke) wins
• X: Draw
• 2: Away team (Bristol City) wins

Here are the Stoke vs Bristol City betting odds in the 1X2 market: Stoke City has 13/10 odds, a draw is priced at 9/4 odds, and Bristol City’s odds are 21/10.

This means if you bet £10 on Stoke City and they win, you’ll profit £13. Your betting amount will also be returned. Similarly, successfully predicting a draw pays £9 for every £4, and correctly predicting Bristol City’s win pays £21 for every £10. 

Looking at the odds, bets on Stoke City pay slightly less than bets on Bristol. This means bookmakers might be expecting Stoke City to emerge on top as bets on the stronger team in the fixture pay out less. However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t bet on Bristol City. Consider both teams’ recent form and injuries. The Robins (Bristol City) had five wins, three draws, and two losses in their last 10 matches, and the Potters (Stoke City) had three wins, three draws, and four losses in the same period.

Double Chance Odds

This market is a safer alternative to 1X2 as it allows you to pick two outcomes in a single bet, instead of just one. You can bet three ways:

• Stoke or Draw (1X): This bet has 7/20 odds. It loses if Bristol City wins.
• Stoke or Bristol City (12): This is a match winner bet with 1/3 odds. It loses if the match draws.
• Draw or Bristol City (X2): This outcome has 7/13 odds. It loses if Stoke City wins.

The Stoke vs Bristol City odds in the Double Chance market are lower compared to 1X2 because of a high win probability. So, choose this bet if you are uncertain about the outcome of Saturday’s match or prefer a low-risk bet.

Handicap Betting Odds

Handicap betting is useful when one team appears to be clearly stronger than the other. Bookmakers give an advantage or a positive handicap to the weaker team to even the playing field. This means a fixed amount of points (chosen by you) is added to one team’s total, and the same amount of points is subtracted from the other team. So, a (-/+) 1.5 handicap applied to 2–0 will change the final score to 0.5–1.5, meaning bets on Bristol City win even if they lose the match.

Handicap can also be applied to receive large returns on your favourite team. Let’s say you are confident of Stoke City’s win. Bet on them to overcome a disadvantage for higher returns.

Be cautious when selecting the handicap, as you need to keep the goal margin in mind. Here are a few examples of how your bet will pay out with different handicaps:

• Stoke (-1.5) / Bristol City (+1.5): Bristol City has a two-goal advantage here. This means bets on Bristol will win even if they lose by a two-goal margin. For example, a final score of 3–1 will be adjusted to 1.5–2.5, giving a win to Bristol.

• Stoke (+0.75) / Bristol City (-0.75): Stoke City has a one-goal advantage here. With this handicap, bets on the Potters win if they win, draw, or lose by one goal.

• Stoke (-0.25) / Bristol City (+0.25): With this handicap, Bristol wins in case of a draw.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds

The BTTS market pays based on whether both teams score or not in the full 90 minutes of the match. The “Yes” bets pay if both Stoke and Bristol score at least one goal. So, as long as the score is at least 1–1, BTTS “Yes” bets win. On the other hand, BTTS “No” bets win if one or both teams fail to score. The final score should have a zero in it for the “No” bets to win.

Consider how many times both teams conceded zero goals (also called a clean sheet) when deciding whether to pick “Yes” or “No”. The higher the clean sheets, the more chances that “No” bets may win. Moreover, it’s also important to consider how many times they failed to score any goals. If there are several zeroes in their recent results, choosing a “No” bet may be better.

Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds

In this market, bettors have to predict whether the combined goal total will be over or under their chosen number. If you chose an Over 2.5 bet, the combined goal total should be at least three or higher. This bet wins if the final score looks like 2–1, 3–0, 3–1, 3–2, etc. On the other hand, Under 2.5 bets pay if the combined goal total is two or lower. 

Lower your risk in this market by considering the average goal total of both teams in their recent matches.

Stoke averaged 0.5 goals in their last 10 matches, while Bristol averaged 1.5. This brings their combined average goal total to 2.0, which is slightly under the 2.5 total betting line. Moreover, in their last five head-to-head matches, both teams’ combined average goal total was 3.6 (18 goals scored in five matches). Use this data when considering the Stoke vs Bristol City odds in the Over/Under market.

Correct Score Odds

Predicting the correct score can yield big returns with this bet. However, this market has long odds, which means your probability of winning is low. Reduce your risk by reviewing their past scoring history, form, and injury record. Bet only small amounts here to manage your bankroll.
