THE PREDICTION
Injury ravaged Huddersfield have suffered hugely on the field in recent weeks as a result of being without so many key players. The Terriers have lost their last five matches in all competitions and haven’t picked up a single Championship point so far in 2021. Their opponents Stoke City, have to go all the way back to December 19th for their last Championship victory as since then, Michael O’Neill’s Potters have drawn four times and lost twice in the league, also exiting both cup competitions. With both teams desperately struggling for form, a turgid affair looks in prospect here, as both may perhaps lack the confidence and cutting edge to throw bodies forward and break the other down. Ultimately, this should lead to a fairly mundane affair, with a draw the end result.
