Prediction: 2-1
Middlesbrough
Kirklees Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Huddersfield and Middlesbrough, the two teams who were beaten by QPR and Preston respectively at the weekend. The Terriers continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, and they are surely capable of matching the Boro in front of home fans. This game comes too early for Jordan Rhodes, while all Pipa, Alex Vallejo, Aaron Rowe, Jonathan Hogg, and Duane Holmes remain in the recovery room.
Middlesbrough, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs in the first half of the season, and, as a result, they sit in 15th position in the standings. The Boro are eager to bounce back from the midweek defeat as soon as possible, but given Huddersfield’s fine home record, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match.
Highlighted Player (Richard Stearman):
Born in Wolverhampton, England on August 19, 1987 Richard Stearman is a defender who represented the Three Lions at youth level. Stearman has four caps for England U21 team and he played nine games for the under-17 squad as well.
The 191-cm-tall footballer is a product of Leicester City football academy and he made his first-team debut with the club on October 30, 2004 in a goalless draw with Cardiff City. The English defender scored five goals in 211 appearances in the league for the Foxes before joining Wolverhampton in the summer of 2008.
He signed a four-year deal with the Wolves and he made his debut for the club on August 9, 2008 in a 2-2 draw with Plymouth. From 2015 to 2017 he played for Fulham and at the end of the 2016/2017 Championship campaign he joined Sheffield United. Richard Sterman’s main position is centre-back, but he is used as a right-back as well.
Highlighted Team (Middlesbrough):
Middlesbrough is a professional football club that have been balancing between the top two divisions of England’s league system in the modern history. Boro have been playing their home games at the Riverside Stadium since 1995 and their shirt colour is red. The capacity of the Riverside Stadium is 34,742. Middlesbrough impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and they did really well to secure promotion to the English top flight. Newcastle United and Sunderland are regarded as the club’s main rivals, but there is a rivalry with Leeds United as well.
Middlesbrough made it to the FA Cup final in 1997, but Chelsea proved to be a big catch for the Boro in the title game (0-2). However, the Riverside Stadium outfit did remarkably well to win the League Cup trophy in 2004, with the team beating Bolton Wanderers in the final. George Boateng, Stewart Downing, Juninho Paulista, Gareth Southgate, Jonathan Woodgate, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Tuncay Sanli and Hamilton Ricard are the star footballers who left their mark at Middlesbrough.
