Match Preview

Today’s Stoke City vs Huddersfield Town preview comes during a time of managerial upheaval for the Potters, though at the time of writing they are yet to announce a replacement for outgoing sacked manager Mark Hughes. Chairman Peter Coates had shown plenty of patience and support for Hughes, though Stoke City’s humiliating FA Cup exit to Coventry was the final straw and the result signalled the end for the Welshman.

Ahead of this week’s Stoke City vs Huddersfield Town betting tips, the home side have won just once in eight matches, and that poor run has seen them slide into the relegation places near the foot of the table. Defensively, the Potters have been all over the place and their porous backline has conceded more goals than any other team in the current Premiership table with forty-seven.

Huddersfield Town have been beaten only once in their most recent six games and though they drew three matches in a row during that period, overall it’s been a positive few weeks for Head Coach David Wagner. Although the 11^th placed Terriers can be pleased with their Premier League season’s work so far, they will still be looking over their shoulders towards the drop zone. Even though there are six teams between them and the third from bottom spot, a gap of four points isn’t the healthiest of cushions.

Stoke City vs Huddersfield Town Prediction and Betting Advice

With new management usually comes upheaval and inconsistent results. With a new boss expected to be at the helm by the time the Terriers visit the Bet365 Stadium next week, the Potters players should still be adapting to their coach’s methods. That could lead to plenty of tactical uncertainty in their performances until things settle down.

The Terriers have been drawing plenty of matches of late and their ability to take points from tight matches had an influence on today’s Stoke City vs Huddersfield Town bets selection. Wagner’s men have drawn three of their last five matches, a run which included a 1-1 draw against Stoke at the Kirklees Stadium on Boxing Day.

That afternoon Tom Ince’s first-half goal was cancelled out by a Ramadan Sobhi equalized on the hour mark. That clash was extremely evenly matched and with the level of quality similar within both squads, backing them to draw again is a smart move. Bet-at-home’s outright Premier League football odds offer the best value around and our advice is to take advantage of their great offers.

Both teams analysed in our free Stoke City vs Huddersfield Town predictions and preview today have had problems in defence this season. The Potters haven’t managed to keep a single clean sheet in their last thirteen outings and that blank secured at Vicarage Road against Watford in late October was their only clean sheet in twenty-two matches in total.

Wagner’s rearguard have only kept their opponents out twice in twelve games. It’s also worth noting that their only blanks were achieved against two of the division’s lowest scorers – WBA and Brighton. Only West Ham and Stoke have conceded more goals away from home than the Terriers in 2017/18.

Both teams scored in their early-season meeting in Yorkshire and with glaring weaknesses for both clubs in defensive zones remaining, there should be ample opportunity for both attacks to get themselves on the scoresheet next week. The best way to utilise the second of today’s English football tips is by using the fabulous odds available at Betway. The value they offer punters is second to none.
