Huddersfield Town vs Stockport County Match Analysis & Prediction
26/12/2024 6:00 pm
In a promotion six-pointer, Huddersfield Town will play host to Stockport County at the John Smith’s Stadium on Boxing Day in League One.
Last time out, the Terriers put on a dominant display and won 4-0 away to relegation-threatened Cambridge United, while the Hatters beat high-scoring Peterborough United 2-1 at home.
Michael Duff’s side are currently fourth in League One with 39 points from their 20 matches so far, five points behind Wycombe Wanderers in the automatic promotion spots.
Huddersfield’s win over Cambridge came after a loss to Bolton Wanderers in the EFL Trophy and a league draw with Lincoln City on December 14 interrupted the five-game winning run they had built across all competitions between early November and the start of this month.
The Terries are unbeaten in their last 11 league matches, drawing three, winning the other eight and keeping six clean sheets in the process, making them the most in-form side in the division.
Additionally, Huddersfield were last prevented from scoring in League One back in October when they played out a goalless draw with Wrexham, and have netted 17 goals in the eight games since.
Meanwhile, Dave Challinor’s Stockport are occupying fifth position in the standings after picking up 36 points from their 21 matches to date.
Three points behind their hosts having played a game more, a win this Thursday could give Stockport more security in the playoff spots as they seek promotion in their first League One season since 2009-10.
Stockport’s form is somewhat less pristine than Huddersfield’s, but is still impressive nonetheless, as they have posted five wins from their last seven league matches.
However, their win over the Posh on December 20 followed back-to-back losses to League Two Bradford City in the EFL Trophy and Stevenage in League One, and overall the Hatters have lost three of their last five matches across all competitions.
