Stoke take on the visitors Huddersfield in the round 32 match of English Championship. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 15th at Bet365 Stadium (Stoke on Trent).
Stoke City are showing controversial results this season. The Potters are still remembered for being a strong middle peasant in the Premier League. And even made their way to the FA Cup final, however, lost it. But then a rather unexpected relegation to the Championship followed, and from there it was no longer possible to get out. On the contrary, last season, for example, there was a modest 14th place - but now it doesn’t even work out to repeat that results. On the other hand, their fight continues in the FA Cup. Yes, and after a couple of defeats, Alex Neil's wards were able to win - over Reading, also 4-0. True, then it happened 0-1 with Luton, and with Hull they ended up in a goalless draw. The hosts are only 5 points ahead of the relegation zone and a home match against the outsiders is a great opportunity to build a gap from the drop zone. Matches in Stock-on-Trent rarely eventful this season. The Potters have scored only 17 goals in 15 matchs at own stadium.

Huddersfield lost their positions sharply, comparing to previous season. The Terriers, after a rather long decline, showed more than decent results in 2021/2022. They even compete for a direct promotion, but in the end, they finished in 3rd place. And then they lost the decisive playoff match, with Nottingham Forest. This, apparently, was a very serious blow, because now the club has literally collapsed into the relegation zone. And really can not get out of there for a very long time. It turned out to end 2022 with a couple of victories - but then it was not possible to win more than once in more than a month. Matches with opponents of the level of Hull, QPR and Blackpool were reduced to draws a maximum. In the last round, they lost to our direct competitor, Wigan, 0-1. The Terries are absolutely the worst team in matches on the road this season and has scored only 14 goals in 15 matches away from home.
Stoke are doing well against Huddersfield - most recently there have been 5 head-to- head meetings in a row without defeat. And only in August, the Terriers have recorded 3-1 at home. The Potters will be favorites, but not a fact, but it will turn out to justify this status. Obviously, there will be "total under 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
