Wrexham will travel to Stoke City for a Championship meeting this weekend, and Opta’s supercomputer has predicted the most likely winner.

The draw against the Blues means Phil Parkinson’s side have slipped down to 18th in the Championship table.

They are now four points above the relegation zone going into their clash with Stoke City on Saturday, and as expected, are not favourites to secure the win.

Stoke City vs Wrexham winner predicted

Stoke hit the ground running this season and were vying for top spot after the opening five matches.

The Potters have since hit a bit of a blip, drawing their last three Championship matches like Wrexham.

However, they are still in the play-offs and could climb as high as second with a victory this weekend.

According to Opta’s supercomputer, Stoke are the favourites to come away with three points this weekend.

They say that Mark Robins’s side have a 47.5% chance of emerging with a win on October 18.

Meanwhile, Wrexham are given just 26.3% chance of ending the weekend with their third league win of the season.

Stoke City vs Wrexham head-to-head record

As expected, Wrexham and Stoke have not faced off in any competition for many years.

The previous meeting between the two sides came on January 4, 2015, in the FA Cup and ended with the Potters securing a 2-1 win.

In total, the Championship duo have faced off on 17 occasions throughout history.

Stoke have won a staggering 16 of those clashes, with Wrexham’s only win coming all the way back on February 27, 1999. That clash ended 3-1 to the Dragons.
