“Just Within Reach of Safety: Stoke City vs Huddersfield Town Prediction, Team News, and Fitness Updates”
As the Championship clash between Stoke City and Huddersfield Town looms on Easter Monday, The72’s writers offer their predictions for the encounter that could have significant implications for both teams’ safety.
Stoke City enters the match buoyed by a recent 2-0 victory over Hull City, a win that propelled them five points clear of the relegation zone and into 17th place in the Championship standings. With the Potters beginning to build momentum, a win against Huddersfield Town could see them extend their buffer to eight points above the drop.
On the other hand, Huddersfield Town finds themselves in a precarious position, having suffered a defeat against Coventry City, leaving them languishing in 22nd place. Without a win in their last five matches, the Terriers are in danger of being cut adrift unless they can swiftly reverse their fortunes.

James Ray believes Stoke City’s recent form will see them through, predicting a 1-0 victory for the Potters and suggesting they will be “just about safe” from relegation. Conversely, Jacob Hackett anticipates a hard-fought draw, acknowledging Huddersfield’s improved performance under Andre Breitenreiter despite their recent results.
