Stoke City Preview – Potters to bounce back?
Stoke City went into the first international break of the season in fifth place after picking up ten points from their opening five Championship matches. Overall, the Potters have won five, drawn one and lost one of seven in all competitions.
Michael O’Neill’s troops kicked off their league season with three wins and a draw. After an opening weekend victory over Reading, Stoke drew 0-0 at Birmingham City before back-to-back wins over Swansea City and Nottingham Forest. Unfortunately, they were beaten comfortably by Fulham at Craven Cottage before the break, but Stoke have made a strong start, nonetheless.
Stoke have won all four of their home league and cup matches this term, seeing off Reading, Fleetwood Town, Nottingham Forest and Doncaster Rovers. Can they make it five in a row at the bet365 this Saturday?
Huddersfield Town Preview – Can the Terriers keep up winning run?
Huddersfield Town made a pretty poor start to their campaign. Having held Derby County to a 1-1 draw in game one, the Terriers were outclassed by Marco Silva’s Fulham on matchday two, with the Cottagers running out 5-1 winners at the John Smith’s Stadium.
The pressure was already on Carlos Corberan after the Fulham defeat, but Town have struck back in stunning style. Huddersfield have fired themselves into fourth spot after successive wins over Preston North End, Sheffield United and Reading.
