Huddersfield vs Stoke Match Preview

Huddersfield is ranked at 6th place and comes in very good form as they are unbeaten in the last five matches collecting three wins and two draws. Their unbeaten run extends to nine consecutive games across all competitions where they got five wins and four draws. Now they sit in the play-off zone but the following teams are right behind them so they will need to keep up this positive streak.

With 37 goals scored so far they have shown a good offensive side and in the last five matches, they have scored a total of nine goals averaging almost two goals per game while managing to find the back of the net at least once on four occasions. At home, they have scored with continuity in the last six games. Ward is having a decent season with 10 goals and 2 assists until now followed by Sinani 5 goals - 1 assist and Thomas 3 goals - 8 assists.

Stoke, on the other hand, is ranked at 11th place with 38 points and comes in a very bad run after a single win and four losses over the last five matches. This dark period caused them to drop in ranks and now they sit six points behind the play-off zone. Having one game short still gives them some slight hopes but they need to change something starting from this game if they want to finish in a top-six spot.

With 32 goals they have shown a decent offensive side and in the last five matches, despite all the losses, they scored a total of six goals averaging at least a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net at least once in four outings. For them, the trio Brown 6 goals - 4 assists, Powell 5 goals - 1 assist and Vrancic 3 goals - 5 assists is leading their offensive side.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Huddersfield has been playing very good football for the moment and I think at home ground in front of their fans they can net one. Stoke is in desperate need of points and I guess they will have to dare more in the attack.
