Huddersfield Town: Stevenage Preview, Injury Updates, Predicted Line-up

Huddersfield Town is gearing up for an important away fixture against Stevenage on Saturday. This match is the first of two consecutive away games for the team, following a series of home encounters.

Match Preview: Huddersfield Town vs. Stevenage

Huddersfield Town previously faced Stevenage earlier in the season, achieving a 1-0 victory with Alfie May scoring the decisive goal. However, since that victory, Stevenage’s form has dipped. The team, originally strong in the early season, has managed only three wins in their last 19 league matches and has fallen to 11th place in League One.

Stevenage’s Home Record

• Stevenage has proven difficult to defeat at home.
• They have conceded only 7 goals in 13 home league games.
• League leaders Cardiff City are the only team to secure a win at Lamex Stadium, thanks to a late goal in December.

The home side has netted just 14 goals at home this season. Strikingly, nine of their 13 home matches have ended in scores of 0-0, 1-1, or 1-0. Stevenage typically employs a direct playing style, relying on aerial strength despite not dominating possession.

Key Players

Jamie Reid stands out with nine goals in League One this season, leading the team’s scoring efforts. Huddersfield must remain vigilant against his threat.

Upcoming Challenge Against Doncaster Rovers

Following the match against Stevenage, Huddersfield Town will face Doncaster Rovers on Tuesday. The Terriers hope to improve upon their previous encounter, which ended in a 1-1 draw and a penalty shootout loss in the Vertu Trophy.

Doncaster’s Recent Form

Doncaster has recently climbed out of the relegation zone but remains precariously close, just one point above it. Their recent 4-0 defeat to Wycombe highlights their struggles. Owen Bailey has been a key player for Doncaster, contributing 11 league goals, five of which are headers. His aerial prowess has made him a player to watch.

Injury Updates

Huddersfield Town has no new injury concerns ahead of these matches. However, Alfie May is still suspended for two more games. Ryan Hardie is also unavailable but expected to return to training next week.

• Jack Whatmough is nearing a comeback.
• Sean Roughan and Antony Evans have returned to play after injuries.
• Joe Low and Bojan Radulovic remain sidelined until late March.

Women’s Team Update

In other news, Huddersfield Town Women will compete against Rotherham United on Sunday in the Sheffield and Hallamshire County Cup. The team has a rich history in this tournament, reaching the finals in the past nine years and securing victory in five of those.
