Huddersfield Town continue their quest for survival as they travel to the bet365 Stadium for a Monday night Championship fixture. Stoke have been a bit erratic lately but should still have too much quality for Huddersfield, who have been out of sorts for a while.
Stoke City are coming off a 2-0 victory at Hull City in their previous Championship fixture. Following a goalless first half, they came to life after the break with goals from Joshua Laurent and Ki-Jana Hoever getting them the win.
That was the third win in five matches for Stoke City, who have been a bit erratic in recent times. They are just five points above the bottom three, so need a bit more consistency to avoid getting dragged into the relegation scrap.
Things are just as erratic at home for Stoke City, who have picked up just two wins from their last 10 matches at the bet365 Stadium. Steven Schumacher’s men have also struggled to maintain their discipline at the back, conceding in five of their last seven home matches.
Hull City travel to the bet365 Stadium off the back of a 3-1 home defeat to Coventry City last time out in the Championship. They were second best for much of the encounter with Rys Healey’s second half effort proving a mere consolation.
The Terriers have really found things difficult in recent times and are winless in their last five matches. Andre Breitenreiter’s men are currently part of the bottom three, although only five points separate them from Stoke City in 17th place.
Huddersfield Town have also found things difficult on the road with just one win from their last 10 away matches. They are often vulnerable at the back on their travels as evidenced by the 5-3 defeat at Southampton and the 4-1 defeat to Leicester City.
