Stoke City will host Huddersfield Town at the bet365 Stadium on Wednesday (February 15) in the Championship. The hosts have had their struggles this season, finding themselves in the bottom half of the standings, but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. Stoke drew goalless with Hull City in their previous outing at the weekend, struggling to create any tangible chances to get on the scoresheet. Stoke are 19th in the league table with 35 points from 31 games.
Huddersfield, meanwhile, have had a near-abysmal campaign and look like a shadow of the team that were on the verge of promotion last season. Their poor run of results prompted the dismissal of manager Mark Fotheringham. They’re now in search of a fourth manager in seven months after losing 1-0 to Wigan Athletic last time out.
The visitors are languishing in 23rd place in the standings with just 28 points.
