Our prediction for this Championship match:
Bournemouth will be aiming to extend their winning run in the Championship to five games when they take on Huddersfield Town in the Championship round 38. The Cherries have been producing excellent displays in the season finale, and, no doubt, they are determined to take part in the playoffs. A man to watch in the away team will be Dominic Solanke, who found the net in the 4-1 crushing of Coventry City. Lewis Cook remains on the sidelines through injury, while Junior Stanislas is a major doubt, and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Terriers, on the other hand, are on the right track to secure the Championship survival. Huddersfield Town have little to play for in the midweek clash, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the promotion-chasing visitors. All Schindler, Aarons, Eiting, Vallejo, Koroma, and Toffolo are injured, while Pipa is a major doubt.
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 (Bournemouth):
Bournemouth are a professional football club that was formed back in 1890. The Cherries secured promotion to the Premier League in the 2015/2016 season, with the team making it to the English top flight for the first time ever.
Bournemouth play their home games at Dean Court and the capacity of the stadium is 11,469.
The Cherries enjoyed a very successful season on their Premier League debut, with the team beating the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the national championship. Glenn Murray scored the winner for Bournemouth in the 1-0 win over the capital club at Stamford Bridge and that is probably the greatest victory in the club’s history.
Bournemouth have been participating in the FA Cup since 1913, but they have yet to win the trophy in the prestigious competition. It has to be noted that the club’s original name Boscombe Athletic Football Club was changed to Bournemouth back in 1923 as the club owners wanted the Cherries to be more representative of the district.
