Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Huddersfield Town will look to extend their winning run to three games in all competitions when they take on Stevenage in the League One round 2. The Terriers kickstarted the new League One campaign with a 2-0 win at Peterborough, with the team rolling over Morecambe 3-0 in their EFL Cup opener. A man to watch in the home team will be experienced forward Danny Ward, who should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the midweek triumph.
The Boro, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-3 loss to Norwich City, which is yet another reason why we are going to place our bets on the home side. In their last meeting at John Smith’s Stadium Huddersfield defeated Stevenage 2-1, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction.
Highlighted Team (Huddersfield):
Back in 1926 Huddersfield Town became the first English club to win three straight domestic trophies. Since 1908 the Terriers were playing at Leeds Road, but in 1994 John Smith’s Stadium became home of Huddersfield Town. The club play in the English second tier (Championship) and the colour of the their home kit is blue and white (stripes).
Huddersfield Town were founded in 1910 and just three years later they entered the Football League. In 1926 the Terriers won their last domestic trophy, but they did well finishing runners up in the FA Cup 1920. The club’s biggest rivals are Leeds United and it has to be noted that Huddersfield Town have better head-to-head record of the two teams.
Bradford City are considered Huddersfield’s local rivals as well, but there are small rivalries with Barnsley, Halifax Town, Manchester City and Oldham Athletic. The club’s chairman is Dean Hoyle.
