Yesterday at 05:18 AM
Huddersfield Town and Stockport County meet in League One on Boxing Day with both sides looking to strengthen their play-off positions.
Huddersfield Town come into their Christmas clash with Stockport County looking to continue in their fine vein of form.
The Terriers continued their League One unbeaten streak in convincing fashion last time out, beating Cambridge United 4-0. David Kasumu and Brodie Spencer netted one each while Callum Marshall scored a brace on the road.
It leaves Michael Duff’s side 4th in the League One table, five points off the top two and eight clear of 7th.
As for Stockport County, they’re just behind Huddersfield Town in 5th, although they are three points back having played once more.
Form has been a little more on and off for Dave Challinor and co but six wins and four defeats in 10 games is still a respectable tally and it has been enough to keep them in the play-offs.
After a 2-1 loss to Stevenage, the Hatters bounced back last week by beating Peterborough United by the same scoreline.
Here, a handful of our writers make their predictions for the game…
James Ray
“I feel Huddersfield Town will just have the edge in this one. These are two very well-matched teams and on their day, both are capable of beating anyone in the league.
“That said, the momentum with the hosts is undeniable. Stockport County did well to bounce back from defeat last week against a tricky customer, but this is a real test for them.
“Ultimately, I think we’ll get a competitive game, but one the Terriers come out on top of.”
Prediction: Huddersfield Town 2-1 Stockport County
Harry Mail
“Huddersfield Town are flying at the moment and are unbeaten in their last 11 matches in the league.
“Teams like Birmingham City and Wrexham get all the attention in League One and the Terriers are quietly going about their business.
“Stockport County will have to make do without key man Barry for the second-half of this season. He is still with them for now though which is a boost but there’s no doubt he’ll be a huge loss.”
“The Hatters are in for a tough test against Duff’s side though and I can see them falling to a loss here.”
Prediction: Huddersfield Town 2-1 Stockport County
