Stoke City, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 0-0 draw against Hull City will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Stoke City. During that encounter they had 55% possession and had 5 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 9 shots on goal.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 6 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. With a defensive record that shows one or more goals given away in 11 of their 15 home matches so far this season, boss Alex Neil will not be happy with his squad's capabilities at keeping a clean sheet at home.
They have been on a bad run over their last 6 league matches, with 4 defeats and only 1 victory, so they know full well that a change of form is needed if they want to begin moving up the league table.
Huddersfield Town, Recent FormThe Huddersfield Town players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Wigan Athletic recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Wigan Athletic's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
Having scored 5 goals and conceded 9 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They don't have an enviable away record at the moment, having conceded at least one goal in 14 of their last 15 league matches way from home, making valuable points hard to acquire on the road.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
On an individual basis, Josh Ruffels will be looking to cause Stoke City some problems having scored 2 goals in Huddersfield Town's last 6 away games in the league.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 3-1 win for Huddersfield Town.
The Terriers will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against Stoke, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 7 meetings between the two.
In the league, Stoke has a good track record when they host Huddersfield, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
Stoke manager Alex Neil has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Sam Clucas (Back), Ben Pearson (Knock), Nick Powell (Muscle), Connor Taylor (Ankle), Axel Tuanzebe (Lack of fitness) and Josh Tymon (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Huddersfield manager Narcís Pèlach with Tino Anjorin (Ankle), Duane Holmes (Calf), Pat Jones (Hamstring), Lee Nicholls (Shoulder), Kieran Phillips (Leg) and Danny Ward (Lack of fitness) all unavailable for selection, and Yuta Nakayama (Achilles tendon) out for the rest of the season.
