Stoke City - Huddersfield Town predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Huddersfield Town are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Stoke City should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

It’s highly unlikely that The Terriers will manage to get some points this round. Stoke are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

Few people saw the previous victory of Stoke City coming. The odds for them to beat Hull City were priced at 3.99, but the match remained in a stalemate throughout the first half. As the game progressed, however, a string of extraordinary goals led The Potters to a surprise away victory 0:2.

Huddersfield Town are coming off from a crushing 1:3 defeat at their previous away game. The match was a largely one-sided affair. Top online bookmakers heavily favoured Coventry City, who took the lead in the first half and went on to take home 3 points towards the Championship title.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Championship outings.

The home team had several opportunities to beat Huddersfield this season, yet never managed to get anything other than a draw. They’re still considered the favourites, though, and the home-field advantage might be just what they need to break the stalemate.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Monday.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 3.75 odds offer a decent return.
