A Critical Pre-Season Encounter: Stoke City vs Everton’s Battle of Redemption
Key Stats
– Everton’s goalscoring struggles continue, with just three goals in their last three friendlies, one of them coming from a penalty.
– Tyrese Campbell, Stoke’s striker, made a significant impact last season with 15 goals from 41 appearances.
The Bet365 Stadium gears up for a compelling pre-season encounter on Saturday as Stoke City welcomes Premier League side Everton. The upcoming clash serves as an important moment for both clubs who are eager to put their lacklustre performances of the 2022-23 season behind them.
Historical Form and Recent Performances
Stoke City, having ended the previous season on a disappointing note, placing 16th after earning only two points from their last seven matches, are hungry for a positive start to the new season. Their recent performance at Derby County left much to be desired, despite a 1-0 victory over Burton Albion. Everton, on the other hand, haven’t had the most successful pre-season either, failing to fully capitalise on their scoring opportunities in matches against Stade Nyonnais, Wigan Athletic, and Bolton Wanderers.

New Players, New Opportunities
Everton’s attack, led by Neal Maupay, have had a tough run due to the continuous absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The fanbase has high expectations from the newly acquired Ashley Young and Arnaut Danjuma. However, the Toffees are yet to bring in any central defenders following the departures of Yerry Mina and Conor Coady, which may leave a gap in their defence.
Stoke City, in contrast, are set to start their season with Rotherham United, and manager Alex Neil will likely field his season-opening lineup for the Everton clash. Standout additions to the Stoke City squad include Wolverhampton Wanderers’ loanees Chiquinho and Ki-Jana Hoever, who both played in the win over Burton. Striker Tyrese Campbell, son of Kevin Campbell, a much-loved figure from Everton’s past, will be one to watch in the upcoming match.
Prediction One: Match Outcome
Based on the historical form and recent performance of both teams, a suitable prediction for the outcome of this match would be a draw. Everton’s scoring woes, combined with Stoke’s struggle in recent games, point to an evenly-matched contest. Odds for this outcome are very interesting, making it a potentially profitable bet.
Prediction Two: Correct Score
Considering both teams’ offensive and defensive records from the past season, a correct score prediction would be 1-1. Stoke scored an average of 1.2 goals per game, while Everton’s average was slightly lower at 0.9 goals per game. Both teams have also exhibited some vulnerability in their defences, which justifies the expectation for each team to score at least once.
Prediction Three: Goalscorer
Stoke’s Tyrese Campbell, with his impressive run of 15 goals from 41 appearances in the last season, is the likely candidate to find the net in the upcoming clash. Campbell’s intimate familiarity with Everton, where his father left a substantial legacy, could provide an additional motivational boost for the striker.
