Stoke and Huddersfield have been following similar trajectories on our Trueform chart and we reckon it is hard to split them ahead of Saturday’s clash.
Both teams may well be satisfied with sharing the spoils, as they did in the Premier League contest at John Smith’s Stadium on Boxing Day.
We’re kicking off our Stoke vs Huddersfield betting predictions by snapping up 23/10 for a repeat of that draw.
Stoke remained in the relegation zone after suffering a third straight defeat in this competition when losing 3-0 at Manchester United on Monday night, with no goals scored in those games.
However, incoming manager Paul Lambert will have been buoyed by some of City’s play going forward, as Stephen Ireland, Xherdan Shaqiri and Mame Biram Diouf all had chances.
Caretaker boss Eddie Niedzwiecki commented: “I thought they showed the new manager some really encouraging signs.
“It really needs the club to pull together now. There’s been too much negativity, too much.”
This match begins a good run of fixtures for Stoke, with Watford and Brighton also due to visit in the next few weeks, so Lambert does have the chance to make an immediate impact.
However, first steadying the ship with a stalemate here wouldn’t be a bad start and 15/4 for a score draw takes the eye from the Stoke vs Huddersfield odds.
Huddersfield have conceded seven goals in back-to-back Premier League defeats against Leicester and West Ham, although the feeling is that they were slightly unfortunate to catch both of those teams on their best form.
The Terriers are four points above the drop zone, but manager David Wagner refused to press any panic buttons after losing 4-1 at home to the Hammers.
He said: “Nothing has surprised us in a negative way, because from day one we were totally aware of what it’s about for us – and that’s to fight for survival.
“I think the players have done this absolutely fantastically so far, even if today we were below par, and we will try to do better against Stoke.”
Town’s first clash with the Potters was an entertaining encounter, with Huddersfield dominating for periods of that game but also grateful for some good work by Danish keeper Jonas Lossl.
If man of the match Aaron Mooy can again shine in midfield, 11/2 for another 1-1 draw is worth adding to our Stoke vs Huddersfield betting tips.
