Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Thursday’s football game at John Smith’s Stadium pits together Huddersfield Town and Stockport County, the two promotion-chasing sides. The Terrors aim to build on a thrilling 4-0 win over Cambridge United, but they face a tough challenge against the Hatters. A man to watch in the home team will be talented striker Callum Marshall, who scored a brace in the last league match.
Stockport County, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Peterborough, but given their ups and downs on the road, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team, but forward Isaac Olaofe is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute against the Posh. Anyhow, a close Boxing Day encounter is on the cards at John Smith’s Stadium.
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.
