The Britannia Stadium hosts a first-round Carabao Cup clash on 8 August 2026 as Championship side Stoke City<\/strong> welcome League Two's Oldham Athletic<\/strong>. A two-division gap makes the Potters firm favourites at 1.40<\/a>, though cup football thrives on upsets. Both clubs treat this as their competitive curtain-raiser for the new season.<\/p>

Projected final score: 2-0<\/h3>

A two-division gap is the defining factor here, and with Oldham missing goalkeeper Jack Stevens, suspended duo Reagan Ogle and Tom Conlon, plus Fawunmi ineligible against his parent club, Micky Mellon is severely undermanned. Stoke, fresh from pre-season wins over Everton and Sheffield Wednesday, are priced at 1.40<\/a> for good reason.<\/p>

Despite Oldham's tendency to be involved in high-scoring away games, their depleted backline and missing first-choice keeper make them vulnerable rather than threatening. Stoke's new midfielders will be eager to impress but a controlled, professional home performance points toward a low-scoring win, making 2.40 a natural fit for this tie.<\/p>
